Empowering Through Education

At Owenwood Farm and Neighbor Space, we believe that knowledge is the foundation of sustainable living. Our workshops and training sessions are designed to equip community members with the skills and insights needed to practice urban farming and embrace sustainable practices. By fostering a culture of learning and collaboration, we aim to inspire a new generation of urban farmers.

Hands-On Learning Opportunities

Our workshops provide hands-on learning experiences that cover a wide range of topics, from composting and organic gardening to water conservation and pest management. Participants have the opportunity to engage directly with the soil, plants, and tools, gaining practical experience that they can apply in their own gardens and communities. These sessions are interactive and designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge or experience.

Expert-Led Sessions

We collaborate with local experts, experienced farmers, and educators to lead our workshops and training sessions. These professionals bring a wealth of knowledge and practical insights, ensuring that participants receive high-quality instruction.
