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.

Garden-based Health & Wellness Series
Along with City Sprouts workshops and classes, we are excited to offer educators online learning tools. This series of five video modules, with corresponding teachers' packets, covers topics including healthy eating, growing your own food, and easy ways of incorporating physical activity into your daily routine. The series is intended for students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, with lesson plans aligned to 4th grade state standards.
All five video modules are available to stream and corresponding teachers' packets can be downloaded using the green buttons on this page.
