Get ready for three days of exciting hands-on workshops in NYC community gardens on:
Registration is now open for Part 2 of the 38th Annual GreenThumb GrowTogether Conference! Check out the map of workshops and the Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.
Please do not register for multiple workshops that take place at the same time – we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to sign up in advance! For information on accessibility, please contact Twywana Bush at [email protected].
Part 2 of the GreenThumb GrowTogether conference will be hosted in-person in community gardens in all five boroughs in celebration of Earth Week. Join us for workshops about growing food, healthy eating, native pollinators, flower arrangement, planting seeds, screen printing garden swag, volunteer projects, and more. All the activities are free and open to the public!
Established in 1978, NYC Parks GreenThumb is proud to be the nation’s largest urban gardening program, assisting over 550 gardens and over 20,000 volunteer gardeners throughout New York City.
The theme of this year’s GrowTogether is “Deeply Rooted: Growing Community Connections.” Community gardeners from across New York City have been gathering at the GrowTogether conference each spring since 1984 to celebrate the start of the garden season with a day of learning, networking, and reconnecting with friends. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the conference is hybrid this year, and we’re spreading it out over the course of two weeks. Part I took place virtually in February (watch all the webinar recordings here!) and Part 2 will be in community gardens around the city in April.
