Gathering of Growers: Irrigation Workshop
May 16, 2026 9:00 am - 11:00 am
7501 Blessing Ave, Austin, TX 78752, USAHello,
We want to extend an invitation to the next Gathering of Growers workshop hosted by Fruitful Commons (our fiscal sponsor). This one will be a simple hands-on workshop where we'll learn about the new irrigation system installed during the recent tree planting workshop. The system is quite similar to the one we will install in our new food forest this fall at Grand Meadow Park. Justin from Symbiosis TX will be there to explain how it was installed, show the parts, and teach what to do when the system breaks.
Want to carpool? Jump into our Discord chat (invite link) and coordinate with our members to carpool up to the beautiful St. John Faith Community Garden.
Please register here if interested in attending.
And please reach out if interested in volunteering at the event or with any questions about the workshop to admin@fruitfulcommons.org
