20 Aug Register now for Citizen Gardener classes

It’s planting season which means it’s time for Austin area Citizen Gardner courses to gear up again!

In less than a year more than 100 new gardeners have been trained, over 1,000 hours of community service generated and dozens and dozens of new yard, community, and other forms of urban gardens have been installed! You can join this incredible movement this season!

All Citizen Gardener Basics courses consist of 10 hours of gardening education and 10 hours of apprenticing/volunteering alongside seasoned gardeners with our Gardening Partners. We celebrate with an end-of-season local food potluck and share stories, food and good times with each other.

The classes are two consecutive Saturday morning hands-on workshops (except as noted below each from 8:30 – 12:00) and a Wednesday evening classroom in between, from 6:30 – 8:00pm.
 – Everyone pays a $40 materials fee at the start of class
 – Everyone is encouraged to perform 10 hours of volunteer service – those who decide not to can pay the $50 Course fee
