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.

Community Garden
City Sprouts was started in 1995 when community members came together to reclaim an overgrown city lot and make it a garden. The groups organizers bought the 1/2 acre lot and, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, weeds were cleared, beds were dug, and seeds panted. Today, the garden is planted each year and maintained by City Sprouts staff and Garden Crew volunteers. The garden is open 365 days a year, dawn til dusk. The garden is free and open to the public to harvest.
