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 little sprouts
Little Sprouts is a youth garden program hosted at City Sprouts. Each week our educator presents a new garden-related topic. From planting seeds to an end-of-season harvest party, there is something for everyone! Each lesson includes hands-on activities related to gardening and exploring the natural world.
Little Sprouts is geared for youth, ages 3 to 7 years old. All sessions are family-friendly and free, but donations are welcomed and encouraged to keep the program going and help pay for supplies. Parents/guardians are always welcome to join their kids in exploring the garden. For children under 5 years old, we do require a parent to be in attendance.
All classes are held at City Sprouts North Garden (4002 Seward Street).
