Urban Roots is a Saint Paul nonprofit whose mission is to cultivate and empower youth through nature, healthy food, and community. During our Fall Fundraiser and Showcase on September 29, our staff and interns will share their experiences and successes in our three programs: Market Garden, Conservation, and Cook Fresh.

We’ll honor the work of honey bees and all native pollinators, as we see them as a link between our programs. Conservation helps create and support the native habitat that many pollinators call home. Market Garden benefits from the pollinators doing their work, giving us many of our favorite crops. Cook Fresh prepares wonderful meals from those crops.
