growing gardeners workshops
The Growing Gardeners Workshop Series is a collaboration between City Sprouts and The Big Garden. We work together to offer four seasons of hands-on workshops that feature skills and techniques for every gardener and urban farmer: growing, cooking, preserving and eating healthy local food. All workshops are free and open to all ages.
Our workshops are broken up into three main tracks: Urban Ag School, Herbal Medicine Cabinet, and Culinary Workshops. We also have smaller workshops attached to various community events that we have throughout the year. Check out all of our workshop offerings on our Growing Gardeners website.
We love having guest teachers from our community lead workshops! Are you knowledgable about a subject that you'd like to share in a workshop? Reach out to our Education Manager and explain what skills you'd like to share.

Organic Fertilization and Pest Management
Sat, Jul 22
|City Sprouts North
This workshop will introduce participants to advanced techniques for creating and applying homemade and commercial organic fertilizers and pesticides.
Time & Location
Jul 22, 2023, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM CDT
City Sprouts North, 4002 Seward St, Omaha, NE 68111, USA
About the Event
This workshop will introduce participants to advanced techniques for creating and applying homemade and commercial organic fertilizers and pesticides. Unlike chemical fertilizers and pesticides, these organic inputs preserve and promote soil health while boosting plant productivity and crop quality. Organic inputs discussed may include: compost tea, fermented plant juice, biochar and indigenous microorganisms (IMOs). Participants may use the knowledge gained in this course to evaluate which methods are best for their growing context and may be incorporated into their fertilization and pest management plan.
Registration fees for Growing Gardeners Workshops are suggested donations of $5/person for lecture-style classes, and $10/person for value-added classes (i.e., take-home goods, cooking classes, etc.). No one will be turned away for inability to pay.
Part of City Sprouts' mission is to provide educational opportunities to the community. Please be honest about what you can afford, so we may continue to provide equitable opportunities for all. Thank you!
