The Center for Nutrition, Diet and Health (CNDH) of the University of the District of Columbia announces its participation in the 7th annual Rooting DC conference, a free, all-day gardening forum that provides education about urban food production and consumption to cultivate health and preserve the environment.
Joining CNDH will be a host of other panelists who, like
CNDH, are deeply invested in food and agriculture within the district.
The event offers more than 70 workshops for beginner gardeners
(e.g., seed starting, soil remediation, and irrigation), seasoned
horticulturalists (e.g., beekeeping, mushroom cultivation, permaculture
design), and citizens invested the larger food justice landscape. An
information fair with over 50 green businesses and nonprofits will take place
from 8:30 a.m. -1:30 p.m. Stop by the UDC/CNDH table to exchange ideas and thoughts
about nutrition education and learn about our newest endeavor, the Garden
Harvest Nutrition Education Program.
The 2014 event will take place March 1st from 8:30 a.m. –
4:00 p.m. at Wilson Senior High School in the Tenleytown area of Washington,
D.C. Hosted by DC Greens and collaboratively designed with Capital Area Food
Bank, City Blossoms, and Neighborhood Farm Initiative, the event typically
draws over 800 attendees. Event sponsors include JBG Companies and Sweetgreen.
