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.

About the Event
This class will offer a historical walk-through of humans in relationship with fire. We’ll look at Otzi the Iceman’s lighter, the historic 3 stone cooking fire, top-down burning, rocket stoves and modern masonry heaters and all the stops in between. Come sit around the fire as we manipulate it and step back into a relationship with that which has provided us with warmth and nourishment and a place to share stories since our ancient ancestors stole it from the wilds. This class will be outside in the garden. Instructor Jim Schalles of Tallgrass Hearth and Home.
