Get growing with our new workshop series

At Arcadia, we love meeting garden newbies, school garden volunteers, foodie families, and backyard gardeners. We think it's important for all these members of the good food movement to gain the skills they need to grow and eat local food.

That's why we're starting a brand new series of beginner-friendly workshops for gardeners, cooks, and kids. We're calling them Get Growing! Workshops- and you're invited!

We've designed our workshops to be family-friendly. Some workshops - like our Seasonal Cooking Class on May 13 - are intended for kids and parents to attend together. Others are designed for adults, but separate child-friendly activities are available.

All of the workshops will take place at our farm at the Woodlawn Estate (9000 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA), so you'll also have an opportunity to check out our sustainable demonstration farm and tour the grounds of historic Woodlawn.

We expect many workshops to fill up quickly, and you can already sign up for Planning and Designing Your Garden, Backyard Chicken Basics, and our Seasonal Cooking Class for Families. Register now to reserve your spot!
