What Kinds of Workshops Do We Put On?
CFI offers a variety of workshops throughout the year with topics covering garden planning, planting, harvesting, and food preparation. We seek to provide hands-on opportunities to build wellness, knowledge, and skills in the garden and kitchen. Examples of a few of our past workshops include fruit tree pruning and grafting, seed saving, seasonal cooking, food preservation, cover crops, and season extension techniques.
Community Gardeners and CFI members receive workshop updates by email. The general public can learn about workshops on our events calendar or on social media. For most workshops, we invite a donation on a sliding scale to attend.
Share Your Expertise
Our workshops are peer to peer, meaning that we recruit community members to host them. We love to facilitate the sharing of unique expertise and how it relates to the Appalachian region. If you have a workshop suggestion or are interested in leading your own workshop, please contact us.
