🌻 FREE EVENT! . *Funds will support Three Sisters Gardens in their program, where they grow fresh organic fruits/veggies and donate to food-insecure families in the West Sacramento area.

☀️ Learn some new skills in a fun, community-centric environment. Three Sisters Gardens holds a Skills Share each month to promote knowledge transfer and sharing economies.

🌼 Our goal is to make all of this information readily available and accessible to anyone who wants to learn. There should be no barrier to entry when it comes to growing your own food and building food sovereignty.

We are trying our best to make all our events ZERO WASTE. It is recommended to bring your own plate/bowl/tupperware and utensil.
