Event description

Join Tami Purdue of Sweat Peas Urban Gardens-- pioneer of the microgreen-growing industry in the Triangle-- for a hands-on workshop all about microgreens. You will leave filled with knowledge and your very own tray of microgreens!

Microgreens are easy to grow, tasty on salads and soups, and packed full of antioxidants and other nutrients.

Tami Purdue started Sweet Peas Urban Gardens in 2014 in her own backyard. Tami and her team use a retrofitted shipping container for a hydroponic growing system where they grow over fifty-five varieties of microgreens and vegetable shoots.

Sweet Peas Urban Gardens is an urban farm at the forefront of innovative climate resilient modes of vertical indoor agriculture. We produce organic microgreens, baby leafy greens, edible flowers and mushrooms in compact urban and peri-urban indoor spaces. Owned and operated by women and minorities, the Business recognizes that accelerating forces of climate change and environmental costs of industrial farming have diminished the extent and productivity of arable land, and pose unprecedented environmental, economic and health risks. Globalization and delocalization of existing food supply chains are unable to adequately respond to concerns about the net carbon footprint, diminishing nutrition, and health safety concerns of industrially produced food. The social, environmental and economic costs of industrial farming are borne by taxpayers and consumers, making existing food systems unsustainable. Increasing public awareness of these problems has dramatically increased demand for foods produced and distributed by alternative food systems. Sweet Peas in located in historic downtown Garner and is establishing a community garden on site in early 2022. Come see us!
