Adults With Hobbies | Week 1: Growing Food At Home

Welcome to Adults With Hobbies!

Finding yourself too invested in capitalist survival and not invested enough in yourself and your community? Learn a new hobby at The Foundry!

Each class will use a radical justice lens to present a brief history and current questions in the field at hand, followed by a hands-on activity where YOU are the MAKER. You will bring home something tangible from each class.

Throughout these weekly summer courses, you’ll learn about community organizations doing relevant work locally, and opportunities to get more involved in the hobbies you like. We’ll also read a book together over the summer, culminating in the final class and get-together, book club/potluck (optional).

WEEK ONE: Meet your co-learners, map out local growing and food advocacy orgs, learn how to harvest herbs for maximum longevity, and start your own seedlings to take home.

Note that Week One starts at 11:30, while all other classes begin at 11:00am.

All lessons have been planned with people with disabilities, queer folks, and BIPOC in mind. If you have a particular accessibility concern, PLEASE reach out! We can more than likely accommodate you.
