Grassroots is back for another growing season!
Grassroots in the Garden: Building Community is a project we started in 2025 to help care for and maintain the Seymour Park Food forest by hosting events where mentors teach attendees about this lovely community edible space and how to care for it.
Grassroots in the Garden acts as a great entry point for those new to gardening who are looking to learn AND an opportunity for seasoned growers to practice their skills and give back to the community.
These workshops are open to the public and completely free!
