Grow Your Own: Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation for Personal Use

Homegrown: Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation for Personal Use

Join us at Cottonwood Urban Farm for a hands-on workshop with Farmer Matt, where we explore the art and science of growing cannabis outdoors for personal consumption.

This class is designed for curious beginners, home gardeners, and anyone interested in understanding how cannabis can be grown responsibly in a backyard or garden setting.

Together we’ll walk through the full life cycle of the plant—from seed to harvest—while exploring the practical decisions that shape a successful grow. Farmer Matt will share real-world experience and approachable techniques that help demystify the process and empower people to cultivate confidently at home.

Along the way we’ll touch on topics such as:

• Understanding different cannabis varieties and choosing the right plant for your needs
• Preparing a healthy outdoor growing space with the right soil, sun, and water
• Organic plant care, feeding, and pest management
• Reading plant signals and responding to seasonal changes
• Harvesting, drying, and curing for quality and flavor

We’ll also be hosting a raffle with plant starts and cultivation supplies, giving a few lucky participants the chance to leave with additional tools and plants to help get their garden started.

This workshop emphasizes practical knowledge, plant health, and responsible cultivation practices. Whether you're interested in growing for personal wellness, curiosity about plant medicine, or simply expanding your gardening skills, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of this remarkable plant.

Come spend the morning learning, asking questions, and connecting with others in the community.
