Growing Families Registration

Welcome to Growing Families by Family Earth!

Starting a garden can feel overwhelming, especially if you've never done it before. What if an expert gardener, and busy parent like you, could walk you through the process, provide advice tailored to your situation, and involve the whole family in starting a vegetable and wild flower garden this spring? At Growing Families your family can learn how to start seeds indoors, plant a garden together, and have fun doing it!

Why garden together?
Closer family relations, improved mental health, more concern for our environment, skills for resilience and self sufficiency, STEM skills, better eating habits and more time outdoors.

What you get when you join Growing Families?

FOUR "get your hands dirty" (literally!), online workshops, where you plant and care for your seedlings as our expert gardeners watch and give you feedback. We teach through stories and creative activities that help everyone in the family grow into a confident gardener. Topics include:

planning a garden that includes food kids will eat
sourcing seeds and plants (from expected and unexpected places)
planting seeds indoors and out
caring for seedlings
moving plants outdoors
improving soil
food, gardening and the climate crisis
Indigenous plants and Indigenous knowledges
the arts and sciences of gardening
having fun (and recovering your sanity) through gardening
