About us
City Dirt Beginners Gardening Circle is for anyone who has ever looked at their windowsill, fire escape, or little patch of backyard and thought, I'd like to grow something but have no idea where to start. We're a relaxed bunch of new and nearly-new gardeners who meet up to figure it out together. No prior experience needed, and no question is too basic. If you've killed a basil plant and want to know why, you'll fit right in.
Our gatherings are mostly casual and hands-on. Sometimes we'll get together to swap seedlings and stories, other times we'll walk through a community garden and ask each other what on earth that plant is doing. We talk about soil, containers, light, watering, and the small everyday stuff that makes a difference when you're growing in a city. Expect friendly conversation, a bit of trial and error, and people who remember exactly what it felt like to be a beginner.
It's a low-pressure way to learn alongside neighbors who are curious too. Come with your questions, your half-dead houseplants, or just your interest. We keep things simple and supportive, and we're happy to have you join whenever you can.
