Urban Roots: Growing in the City - TC Growers Network
Description
Do you work with youth, or are you a youth participant, in a garden or environmental program? Join in this virtual Twin Cities Metro Growers Network meeting with your experiences, to network, and create possible partnerships!
Urban Roots has been cultivating youth leadership in Saint Paul since 1996. What started as a small garden for students at Dayton's Bluff Elementary School has grown into an urban farm that produces 15,000 pounds of produce annually on one acre of land on Saint Paul's East Side! Join us to hear more about the challenges of farming in the city and how Urban Roots cultivates youth leadership through market gardening, cooking and conservation.
Join in the conversation with Skyler Hawkins, Market Garden Program Manager, Jaclyne Jandro, Education Program Manager, Marcos Giossi, Seasonal Lead Supervisor, and Zarea Mobley, Administrative Assistant & Alum.
