2012 Winter Workshop Series

PRI is currently offering THREE Winter Workshop Series - our Intro to Urban Farming Series, Designing a Living Landscape Series, and our Pre-Season Production Series.  Interested? Sign up now!

Want to prepare for spring? These series will help you optimize your growing space and explore new options in food production!  From integral skills like understanding your soil, seed starting, record keeping, and managing pests to more indepth ideas such as turning your food production into a business or greenhouse growing and aquaponics, these series have something for everyone.  

Workshops run Tuesdays and Saturdays through the end of March. 

Sign up for whole series and save, or enroll in any of the workshops individually. Members - make sure to log in at the top of the website to receive your member discount on all pricing.

Like a squash plant in a sunny compost pile, we are branching and leafing out, growing as fast as we responsibly can. There are many ways to bring your assets and skills to join in the growth of our community and our vision.

We have numerous areas that we'd love help in. If you have a skill to share that you don't see below, please contact us with other suggestions. Keep in mind that some positions involve an application process and we have priorities for current PRI resources, but we will do what we can to synchronize your interests with exciting, dynamic projects. 

Send an email to the PRI coordinator: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We look forward to working with you soon!
