*Please note – due to the weather, this event has been postponed from Jan. 24th to Feb. 28th*
Join us for the first Gathering of Growers of 2026 — a community tree planting workshop at the beautiful St. John Faith Community Garden!
We’re partnering with TreeFolks to expand the garden’s young orchard and plant 30 new fruit trees that will nourish this space for years to come. Together, we’ll learn how to select healthy trees, prepare soil, and plant for long-term success, blending hands-on learning with shared stewardship of the orchard.
Whether you’re a seasoned grower or brand new to planting, this event is for you. Come ready to get your hands in the soil, learn, and connect with fellow growers and tree experts from across Austin.
