Rooting DC, the District's own annual urban gardening conference, is just a few weeks away and we need your help in making this year's event a success. Rooting DC has always been totally volunteer-run, so we're able to keep it free for all. We're currently looking for volunteers to help out during the event. This is a really great way to get to know the urban agricultural community here in DC. Check out the program from last year's Rooting DC if you're unfamiliar with the forum.
Rooting DC will be held Saturday, February 18, 2012 from 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
There are several ways you can help. See a description of the volunteer areas below and complete our Rooting DC Volunteer Form if you wish to help out this year!
