We are delighted to announce the 17th Annual Rooting DC! Rooting DC is a FREE, day-long urban gardening forum which:
1) provides education about urban agriculture and food systems,
2) cultivates health and protection of the environment, and
3) builds community.
Rooting DC has been the District’s central meeting ground for individuals and nonprofits looking to grow a healthier food system in the nation’s capital. This annual, day-long event started in 2007 as a small gathering of 150 urban gardeners and has grown into an annual event with hundreds of attendees and local experts from across the region. the event has been held in-person and virtually, and includes educational workshops, networking space, and valuable community building where local food-systems stakeholders share their knowledge and learn from one another.
