Shared Roots was created to encourage District residents to grow food by allowing them to temporarily grow food in school gardens not being used over the summer. 

Applications for District residents will open in early April 2027. If you would like to be notified once applications open, please complete this interest form.

Applicants can expect to be matched with a gardening site by early May 2027. Each year there are more members than available spots at sites. There is no guarantee that members will be matched with a site.

If you are associated with a District school garden and have questions about becoming a site, please contact Sam Ullery at [email protected].

If you are a District resident and have questions about participating, please contact Joshua Singer at [email protected].
