Sow and Grow Festival | Truckee River Regional Park
May 30 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Slow Food Lake Tahoe (SFLT) is hosting their second annual Sow and Grow Festival this May 30th from 9:00am to 1:00pm at their Food Bank and Community Gardens in the heart of Truckee River Regional Park. This free community event is a celebration of spring gardening in the High Sierra for seasoned and novice gardeners alike. Stop by and purchase some plant seedlings from a wide selection of SFLT’s favorite tried and true garden varieties for the High Sierra. There will be free gardening classes throughout the morning, led by local gardeners with years of experience growing in Truckee’s harsh conditions. Bring the whole family to enjoy the gardens and stick around for a seed giveaway and kids activities!
The Sow and Grow festival is a must-attend event for anyone interested in edible gardening or simply looking for a fun and educational day out. Bring the whole family and be inspired to create your own sustainable garden in our high elevation community.

This event would not be possible without our sponsors at the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation and through the Truckee Tahoe Airport District (TTAD) Agency Partnership. 2025 marked our very first growing season with solar panels in the garden, made possible by this partnership with TTAD. The addition of solar power helps us grow plant starts right in our own backyard and makes hosting more events in our community garden possible! We’re incredibly grateful for the support that helped make this project a reality. Huge thank you to TTAD for investing in our garden, our community, and a more sustainable future.
