Hands-on urban agriculture harvest and replanting of fall vegetables at The Sustainable Living Project, suitable for adults and children.
The Sustainable Living Project is hosting its Sweet Potato Harvest on Saturday, October 24, at 918 W Sligh Ave in Tampa. It's one of their urban agriculture activities, and the morning is set up as a hands-on learning experience for adults and children alike. The main event is the harvest itself—digging up the sweet potatoes—but that's only the first part of the work. Once the harvest is done, everyone sticks around to weed, mulch, and replant the area with fall vegetables.
That's where the learning comes in. You aren't just pulling things out of the ground; you're seeing how a city garden actually functions, from the harvest to the prep for the next season. It's a good way to get your hands dirty and see how urban agriculture works in practice, and since it's open to both adults and kids, it's easy to bring the whole family along. The project frames volunteering as a way to connect with the community, learn about urban agriculture, and support a more sustainable local food system.

Before you head over, there are a few practical things to keep in mind. You'll be working in the dirt, so bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty. You'll also want to bring your own water and wear closed-toed shoes. The harvest runs from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM on Saturday, October 24, at 918 W Sligh Ave, Tampa, FL 33604.
