2026 Urban Roots

$70.00

The Urban Roots Community Garden Training Course has been empowering and educating Detroiters to start and maintain gardens for 20 years. The knowledge, one-on-one support, and connections students receive in this class is invaluable. We understand that cost may present a barrier for some community members. As such, we offer this class at a base rate of $60. If you're in a position to contribute more, we appreciate your generosity, which allows us to keep our programs accessible. Conversely, if you need to pay less, please feel free to do so. We aim to make our classes available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances.
