Events

First Saturday Plant Walk

Every first Saturday | 9 – 11am

We will walk among the plants and point out what is growing, what can be harvested, how to use the medicinal herbs, and invite you to be part of the Food Forest family. Bring a basket to harvest if you’d like!

Sunday Yoga in the Forest

Every Sunday | 11am 

Join us for yoga underneath the shade of our Pecan trees. Every Sunday at 11am (weather permitting), one of our core volunteers will guide you through gentle movement and nature-centered meditation. For those who have the means, donations are encouraged – everything goes to supporting our community food forest! The practice is welcoming to all levels and bodies, and afterward, feel free to explore & forage. Check out our instagram @austin_food_forest for the most up-to-date info!

It’s My Park! Day

November 2nd | 9AM-1PM

Our oasis in downtown Austin is expanding, and we want you to be a part of our history! We received permission from the city for our original 3/4 acre edible food forest to grow to THREE acres of public park land! We broke ground on the new berms and swales in Summer 2024, and Fall 2024 IMPD is our prime time for putting new plants and trees in the ground! We need all the help we can get and hope you will join us!

Projects will include a lot of planting (fun!), enriching our soil with compost and mushroom blocks, spreading mulch, and creating new pathways. Even with the expansion, we can’t forget our cornerstone gem! Maintenance of existing berms- weeding, mulching trees, and beautifying our current space will be a priority as well.

Second Saturday Workday

Every second Saturday | 9 – 12pm  (8am-11am for Summer)

The second Saturday of every month we gather to work the land in community. Please bring water and a mask – we will provide the snacks!

Tuesday & Thursday Morning Workdays

Every Tuesday & Thursday | 9 – 12pm

Every Tuesday a small group of volunteers meet at the Food Forest to maintain the site and tend to the land. Join us any Tuesday!
