A group of Truckee-Tahoe based non-profit organizations are teaming up for the 2nd annual Grow Your Own Festival featuring gardening demos and a high elevation seedling sale. This free community event celebrating the joys and benefits of growing food in high elevation regions will also have a special emphasis on watershed-friendly practices. Formerly individual weekly workshops, now single day events in South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, and Truckee focused on the edible plants that grow best in our unique mountain climate.
Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this event has something for everyone. Hosted at three unique locations in the Truckee-Tahoe region. Attend one or all, either way it’s FREE!
At each location, attendees will have the opportunity to pick-up seeds/seedlings each selected for their abilities to perform during our short growing season. This year’s highlights are tomatoes and peppers, leafy greens, potatoes, peas, squash, onions/leeks, and edible flowers. Additional starts will be available for purchase at each location. Pre-register to reserve your seedlings and help support the future of the Grow Your Own Program.
