DPR's Urban Garden division offers free workshops and courses focused on practical urban gardening skills, environmental stewardship and nutrition/cooking education during various time frames throughout the year. Many of our workshops are taught by the leaders of the District's urban agriculture movement.
Due to COVID we have converted majority of our Urban Garden classes to Webinars.
You can view over over 40 webinar recordings for free at the follwing link.
