Connect with food and gardening in your community

JOIN SHARED ROOTS

Shared Roots encourages District residents to grow food by connecting them to new food-growing opportunities while caring for and building community in the garden.

There are two ways to participate in Shared Roots:

• A Site Coordinator provides access for community members to garden, grow, or maintain a garden site.
• A Member is a District resident interested in growing food and caring for a garden site.

Become a Member Today!

The member application is now open until April 29. Applicants can expect to be matched with a gardening site by May 7. Each year there are more members than available spots at sites. There is no guarantee that members will be matched with a site.

Shared Roots Members must:

• Attend an online training with OSSE and DPR staff
• Attend an in-person training with the site coordinator
• Sign a District government waiver
• Grow food (to take home)
• Care for a garden site

The Site Coordinator Application is now closed.
