Grassroots in the garden is a project we started in 2025 to help care for and maintain the Seymour Park Food forest by hosting events where mentors teach attendees about this lovely community garden and how to care for it. Grassroots in the Garden acts as a great entry point for those new to gardening who are looking to learn, and an opportunity for seasoned growers to practice their skills and give back to the community. New Leaf Foods is happy to announce that more sessions are on the way for 2026. These workshops are open to the public and completely free!

For our first session Dillon Weist will be leading a workshop on seed stratification where we’ll be getting ground cover seeds ready for later use. This first session will take place at the Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Greenhouse, which is located near parking lot 5 of the Green Bay Botanical Gardens. Be there at 4pm on February 5th if you want to attend. For more information on Grassroots in the Garden, visit the grassroots page on our website.
