Neighborhood Farm Initiative

Programs - Rooting DC

The Neighborhood Farm Initiative serves as lead partner in building DC's "Field to Fork" Network, which works to foster partnerships and strengthen links between community gardening, food preparation, and nutritional outreach in the District. Partners collaborate to sponsor "Rooting DC", a gardening forum held annually attracts over 500 attendees!

The goals of Rooting DC are to:

• Build community among groups and individuals who want to improve our city through gardening and greening
• Share information and resources about gardening and greening in DC
• Provide opportunity for DC gardeners to coalesce around specific areas of interest
• Identify volunteer opportunities by creating a database of community based garden projects
• Keep gardeners connected via monthly e-newsletters that highlight volunteer opportunities, events and news from participants
