La Cosecha
Through the La Cosecha initiative, our Community Education Program offers opportunities for community members to engage in health-based community gardening and culinary practices. Through community-based and culturally significant programming, staff provide engaging, hands-on learning experiences to promote local and sustainable food systems.
Cultiva Institute
The Cultiva Institute offers kickstarter trainings 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 weekly to share and learn about gardening and nutrition while also discovering how the plants growing in your garden can be turned into delicious and nutritious meals.
These events are free and open to the public. Spaces are limited and on a first come, first serve basis. Please note that proof of COVID vaccine will be required for participation, in an effort to keep other participants and our staff safe and lessen the impact of the pandemic on our community.
Stay tuned for details about upcoming Pláticas!
