Have you ever wanted to grow your own food? Whether you have a windowsill’s worth of space or several acres, now is your chance to learn how! Young adults are invited to attend this workshop session, led by Stevie DuFresne of Flora & Fido LLC, where we’ll explore the basics of home gardening from the early planning stages to harvesting your bounty. Participants can expect to leave with seed packets, workbooks, and an understanding for how to sow Jewish-ness into your gardens.
Due to the generosity of donors, subsidized tickets are available at three pay-what-you-can tiers: $10, $15, and $20 per person. Each ticket includes the workshop experience, the physical workbook, seed packets, snacks and drinks at Java Hutt, and a direct line to a local garden expert! (True costs are $25+ per person.)
Space is limited and advance registration is required! This event is intended for young adults in their 20s and 30s.
The Well expects all participants to be fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. For those who are not, we ask that you wear a mask in all indoor spaces. Of course, masks are welcome for all regardless of vaccination status.
Learn more about Stevie DuFresne and Flora & Fido LLC:
Stevie DuFresne’s journey growing food began 20 years ago when they started working and apprenticing at local farms in New England. From there, Stevie focused their college degree on sustainable farming practices, food systems, and small business. They developed a particular interest in designing, budgeting, and implementing farm and garden projects. This evolved into working as a TA for farm and horticulture courses, writing the 5-year plan for their college farm, managing commercial farms and greenhouses, consulting for organic farmers, revitalizing an abandoned urban community garden, and serving in various teaching roles throughout the years.
Flora & Fido LLC was created because Stevie saw the need for expert guidance for individuals and institutions looking to make their food-growing goals a reality. Starting a food garden, anticipating needs, and trouble-shooting challenges can seem impossibly daunting, but Flora & Fido is here to help!
