Join us for the next chapter of our Books & Beyond series – an inspiring, hands-on event designed for readers of all ages! Rooted in stories, nature, and community, the "Rooted Series" invites participants to read, explore, and discover the powerful connections between books and nature.

This special event will take place in the vibrant Deuces Live Food Forest, where we’ll dig into stories centered around roots – from plants to people – and work together to plant and grow in real time. It’s a morning of learning, growing, and making a lasting impact.

Expect interactive storytime, garden activities, community building, food, and fun for the whole family.

Youth can pick up free books to read in advance at Central Station Barber & Grooming (2325 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33713). Those who complete a book report will be entered into a prize drawing at the event!

Let’s grow together – mind, body, and soil.
