Growing Together
Gardening and Homesteading Day 2026

Welcome to Growing Together - Gardening and Homesteading Day 2026! 

We have heard from many in our greater community that there is a keen desire for people to come together to share, learn, or refresh their skills, and to become better and stronger stewards. To that end, we are hosting our first annual Growing Together - Gardening and Homesteading Day on March 21, 2026. None of us can do everything, but each of us can do something, and by building community, we can learn together. 

We have a full day event planned, with speakers and presenters on a variety of topics, including a *hands-on workshop, lunch (included for those pre-registered and paid by March 12; additionally, Derwent Pizza will have pizza by the slice available for purchase!), and a trade show with market. Also planned is an opportunity for seed and plant sharing/swapping. Please reach out to derwentagsociety@gmail.com if you have perennials you'll be dividing, plants/cuttings, or seeds and would like to share!

Newly added for Little Sprouts: The Two Hills & Area FRN will be on site during the trade show hours with activities for children, so your whole family can come enjoy the day!

Please read on for speaker bios and trade show vendor information.

*An extra fee applies for the hands-on workshop to cover materials.
