About this Event

Learn how to grow a unique specialty plant outdoors—from seed to harvest—with Farmer Matt at Cottonwood Urban Farm. Practical, legal home-growing skills you can apply in your own garden.


Join us at Cottonwood Urban Farm for a hands-on workshop with Farmer Matt, where we explore the art and science of cultivating a regulated specialty plant outdoors for personal use.

This class is designed for curious beginners, home gardeners, and anyone interested in understanding how this remarkable plant can be grown responsibly in a backyard or garden setting.

Together we’ll walk through the full life cycle of the plant—from seed to harvest—while exploring the practical decisions that shape a successful grow. Farmer Matt will share real-world experience and approachable techniques that help demystify the process and empower people to cultivate confidently at home.


Along the way we’ll explore topics such as:


• Understanding plant varieties and choosing the right one for your needs

• Preparing a healthy outdoor growing space with the right soil, sun, and water

• Organic plant care, feeding, and pest management

• Reading plant signals and responding to seasonal changes

• Harvesting, drying, and curing for quality and flavor


We’ll also be hosting a raffle with plant starts and cultivation supplies, giving a few lucky participants the chance to leave with additional tools and plants to help get their garden started.


This workshop emphasizes practical knowledge, plant health, and responsible cultivation practices. Whether you’re interested in plant medicine, expanding your gardening skills, or learning about specialty crop cultivation, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of this fascinating plant.


Come spend the morning learning, asking questions, and connecting with others in the community.
