Upcoming community happenings.
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!
Tree Planting Celebration
October 19 | 2PM-6PM
Our forest garden has been growing for 9 years and is now a thriving ¾ acre of outdoor community learning and gathering space. This year we began our phase 2 expansion onto the remaining 2+ acres of adjacent parkland and we are excited to celebrate and share in this tree planting with you all.
In addition to planting trees, we will plant pollinator attractors and seed wildflowers in our meadow.
Join an educational workshop with our partners Central Texas Mycological Society or a guided plant walk through the forest. @centraltexasmycology
