Get ready for the growing season at our Spring Gardening Workshop!
This hands-on session will walk participants through the basics of planning, planting, and caring for a garden so it can thrive all season long. You’ll learn practical tips about soil health, native plants, and simple steps you can take to support stronger, healthier green spaces in your own neighborhood.
All registered participants will have the opportunity to take home a starter garden kit, including a seed tray, seeds, soil, and basic tools for maintaining a small container garden!

More than just gardening, this workshop is about building confidence and connection. As youth and residents learn how to care for shared spaces, they deepen their understanding of how environmental health impacts our communities—and how everyday stewardship actions make a real difference. Whether it’s planting your first seed, refreshing your skills, or showing up to support your block, you’ll leave with knowledge you can apply immediately. We are inviting local community gardens to share opportunities to get involved with gardens and events in Ward 7 and 8.
Come grow with us, connect with the Soul Trak community, and take part in strengthening our parks and gardens—together.
