Join us for the last Gathering of Growers of 2026 — a community tree planting workshop at the brand new Grand Meadow Food Forest!

We’re partnering with TreeFolks to plant the new food forest with 50 fruit and nut trees along with guild plants that will support the trees. Together, we’ll learn about guild plants, how to properly plant trees and install driplines, blending hands-on learning with shared stewardship of the food forest.

Whether you’re a seasoned grower or brand new to planting, this event is for you. Come ready to get your hands in the soil, learn, and connect with fellow growers and tree experts from across Austin.
