La Cosecha
Cultiva Institute
The Cultiva Institute is a kickstarter training for folks in our communities who are interested in starting a community garden. During a 2-day training, participants will learn how to plan a community garden, gain essential basic gardening skills based on sustainable dryland growing practices, and learn valuable gardening and cooking education facilitation skills while visiting different community gardens across the Paso del Norte region.
La Semilla has implemented a fee structure based on a sliding scale. All individuals, neighborhood groups, organizations, education and government entities are welcome to register. Spaces are limited and on a first come, first serve basis.
Stay tuned for details about upcoming Cultiva Institute sessions!
Pláticas
As part of our Pláticas program, participants gather to share and learn about vegetable gardening and nutritionally wholesome food practices that celebrate regional culture and identity. Participants discover how the plants growing in your garden can be turned into delicious and nutritious meals and gain tools to advocate against and identify harmful conventional food system practices.
These events are free and open to the public. Spaces are limited and on a first come, first serve basis.
