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.

Volunteer at City Sprouts!
Did you know one volunteer hour is equivalent to $33.49? That's what the experts say but, to us, volunteer time is priceless. City Sprouts has the privilege of hosting more than 800 volunteers every year. From garden clean up, to mini construction projects, to events and beyond - your time is invaluable and we appreciate you. No experience necessary. Tools and gloves will be provided if needed.
