Urban Roots

Swipe for some garden glow-ups!

Gardening for All is a year-long program where we help local families, schools, nonprofits and community organizations bring underused or bare spaces into productive gardens. We provide the materials, education and support needed to turn ideas into thriving growing spaces. The result? More fresh food, more hands-on learning and communities that continue to grow together.

Applications are open now! Limited spots available. Apply at https://form.jotform.com/261276535245156

Join us this weekend at SOIL PALOOZA, a free, education-focused family friendly community gathering!

At Urban Roots we believe garden-education should be available to all – inspiring our annual free Soil Palooza celebration. This year’s theme is local food systems, featuring a speaker panel, games from our own camp curriculum led by our own educators teaching about food forests and mutual aid, and vendors and educators from the community focusing on pollination and soil health. Bonus, you'll encounter thoughtfully crafted local food and beverages!

It’s not too late to RSVP either! While it's a free event, those who RSVP will be entered to win a beehive from the Urban Roots farm along with educational resources from our community partners. There's also a few stellar raffle prizes (tickets for sale on site), including local restaurant gift cards, a Vitamix composter and even a much-beloved festival ticket or two!

When? Saturday, May 30th from 5:00PM to 8:00PM
Where? The Urban Teaching Farm, 1700 E Second St., Reno, NV 89503
Why? To better your gardens, or start gardening, get involved in your local food systems, and to help us support sustainable programming and education at Urban Roots.
