Resources: Workshops
Each year CCUA recruits experienced and giving volunteers from Columbia’s home gardening and sustainable agriculture communities to teach a series of workshops for the general public. Topics range from Garden Planning and Design to Food Preservation to Urban Chicken Keeping. The emphasis is on sustainable, healthy, and affordable approaches to vegetable gardening. Check our calendar of events to see when the next workshops are scheduled.
Register now: Workshops are open to the public - no prior experience necessary! Free for CCUA members and open to the community for a sliding scale donation of $5-$20. If you would like to attend a workshop, you can sign-up via email at education@columbiaurbanag.org. We'll give the exact address and directions when you sign up. Thanks!
