She expanded her knowledge of regenerative farming at the University of the District of Columbia’s Firebird Farm as a beginning farmer intern. That experience led her to pursue and complete her professional science master’s at the University of the District of Columbia\, where she further developed her focus on sustainable food production\, food access\, food security\, and the Farm-to-Pantry supply chain. \nAt Sierra Farms & Gardens\, she grows a diverse mix of fresh vegetables\, herbs\, and specialty cut flowers using practices such as no-till growing\, composting\, mulching\, cover cropping\, crop rotation\, and water-efficient drip irrigation. A key part of the farm’s mission is also giving back by helping provide fresh\, locally grown produce to families in our community. \nNetworking begins at 4:30 and the program will begin promptly at 5:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided. Please bring a camp chair\, water\, bug spray\, and a hat! Please refer to your confirmation email for additional instructions .

Thea will discuss no-till farming\, mulching\, drip irrigation\, low tunnels\, biointensive planting\, string-trellising tomatoes\, and tools such as the Paperpot Transplanter and Jang seeder. She’ll also share how she began incorporating flowers into her produce operation and what she has learned on her journey as a beginning farmer. \nThea and the Soil Conservation District staff are hoping to gather new and experienced flower farmers for informational sharing and fellowship! \n\nBloomin’ PGC is an initiative launched by the Prince George’s County Food Equity Council in partnership with the Prince George’s Soil Conservation District\, the University of Maryland Extension in Prince George’s County\, ECO City Farms\, Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission\, the Prince George’s County Department of the Environment\, the Office of Food Security\, and The Capital Market to support the growing urban agriculture movement in Prince George’s County. \nFor more information on the Bloomin’ PGC Urban Farm Initiative: https://www.pgscd.org/urban-agricultural-conservation/urban-farms/bloomin-pgc/ URL:https://www.pgscd.org/event/open-mic-night-october/ LOCATION:Sierra Farms + Gardens\, 15309 Baden Westwood Rd\, Brandywine\, MD\, 20613\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20261017T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20261017T150000 DTSTAMP:20260914T130202Z CREATED:20260914T130202Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T130202Z UID:4043-1792227600-1792249200@www.pgscd.org SUMMARY:Prince George's County Forestry Board's Tree Tour DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun and educational tree tour hosted by the Prince George’s County Forestry Board! \n\n\n\n\nR.S.V.P. here: Prince George’s County Forestry Board’s Tree Tour Tickets\, Saturday\, October 17  •  9 AM – 3 PM | Eventbrite \n\nThe Prince George’s County Forestry Board is hosting a walking tree tour Saturday\, October 17th 2026.
