About the Root to Rise Garden:
The Root to Rise Garden is located at the Potomac Vegetable Farms’ Loudoun location. (Purcellville also works when using GPS for navigation). This garden holds a very special place in the hearts of both Sophia and Michael. It is a central gathering space for the community and it holds many memories for them of sunset outdoor dinners filled with song, good food and dancing as well as community goat roasts, and countless peer led summer workshops in the shade of the outdoor kitchen. Also memories of volunteer work days filled with sweat and hard work building the garden into what it is today. And of course the joy and wonder of the kids who attend the outdoor garden program, ‘Garden Sprouts’ where Sophia teaches and co-runs and Michael has taught. Sophia designed the garden as an educational and community garden space eight years ago and has been tending it along with the volunteer garden council ever since. The garden is very kid friendly with a perimeter fence, playground and berry bushes for kids and adults alike to snack on. We hope you enjoy the magic of the garden as much as we do. We couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. We are so grateful to Potomac Vegetable Farms for their generous hearts in opening up and sharing this space everyday, and especially on this day.
