(DC) (Department of Energy and Environment) We are delighted to announce the 17th Annual Rooting DC! Rooting DC is a FREE, day-long urban gardening forum which:

1) provides education about urban agriculture and food systems,

2) cultivates health and protection of the environment, and

3) builds community.

Rooting DC is the District’s central meeting ground for individuals and entities looking to expand urban gardening efforts to grow a healthier food system in the nation’s capital. This year’s event is in-person and includes educational workshops, networking space, and valuable community building where local food-systems stakeholders share their knowledge and learn from one another.
