We have chosen the month of January/Veganuary as Food Gardening Awareness Month!

Our in-person workshops on organic kitchen gardening and onsite teaching gardens had to be phased out due to social distancing concerns. Thanks to a new team, a new website, and new online content (blog and webinars), we “pivoted” from a community-based organization to a global, virtual one overnight (literally). Our focus (near obsession) with teaching about biodiversity and about soil health has remained the hallmark of the DRP Brand (along with our love for worms)!.

Connecting you to the earth. Connecting us to each other..

Thanks to an overwhelming interest in our planet’s future during these challenging times, our lock-down inspired “Grow Your Own” movement has exploded! Our kitchen gardening community is excited about learning with us - from the world’s leading research organizations, organic growing specialists and enviornmental journalists. Our NEW Webinar Series is STILL in the works – so sign up for our newsletter and tell us what you’d like to know more about in 2022!

Learn more about how you can grow your own - by attending our informative, Q & A webinars.

When Deep Root’s Social Media Manager Ludovica Cavalieri, an enthusiastic vegan, signed up for an online course on vegan-organic gardening - she enlisted DRP’s Marketing Director, Lesley Pritikin to join her. Neither of them had ever heard of “vegan gardening”. That was in August 2021.

In December 2021, Lesley and Ludovica were curious about how many vegans had joined the blossoming Deep Root’s kitchen garden community. Then, they discovered Veganuary (www.veganuary.com), the international challenge that urges people to adopt a vegan lifestyle/diet for the month of January - and the idea of launching a “Vegan Grow Your Own” movement was born.

Flash Forward - Veganuary 2022

Some DRP team members loved the idea of using the month of January for learning new organic methods and philosophies (they are Chicago-based and don’t grow much during the winter). They decided to start their journey on becoming more vegan-aware with co-Executive Directors, Estelle Carol and Will Schreiber leading the way.
