About this Event

As part of our Earth Month celebration, Grounded is proud to host an inspiring and hands-on gardening workshop led by The Urban GardenHER. This 90 minute experience is designed to empower participants with the knowledge and confidence to grow food in small urban spaces, while exploring the wellness and community benefits of cultivating your own garden.

Whether you’re new to gardening or looking to deepen your relationship with the earth, this session will guide you through the basics of starting and maintaining a small-scale container garden. Together, we’ll learn how growing your own food can nourish both body and soul.

Workshop Highlights:

  • A step-by-step introduction to small-space urban gardening
  • How to identify your hardiness grow zone and choose the right plants
  • The wellness benefits of gardening as a grounding, mindful practice
  • Practical tips on growing herbs and vegetables in containers
  • Companion planting, composting, and feeding your soil
  • Understanding the difference between growing from seed vs. seedling
  • Interactive container planting demo with personalized planters to take home

Each participant will receive:

  • One galvanized steel planter
  • Tomato, cucumber, and herb seedlings
  • Garden gloves and potting soil
  • A personalized planter label and sticker
  • A printed PDF takeaway of the workshop content

This experience is about more than gardening—it’s about connection, nourishment, and reclaiming our relationship with the land, even in the heart of the city.

Thank you HoneyPot and Anacostia BID for their support!
