Just Saying "Hay!" from Urban Roots Staff!
The sky was cloudy but spirits were sunny for our Market Garden Staff Work Day! Market Garden team members Summer, Jaclyne, and Sydney led staff crews to get our garden at First Covenant Church in great shape for the production season. We edged the garden, raised new beds for tomatoes, mulched with a dozen bales of hay, and gave our garlic some love so that production can be better than ever.
The administrative staff enjoyed ditching their dress shoes and getting their hands dirty—it was a great way to remember why Urban Roots began and how we can keep giving back to the community in the future. Urban Roots wouldn’t be where we are today without the guidance of our talented staff and our amazing youth interns. Last year’s harvest of 10,500 pounds on 1/2 acre of land was so amazing, and with the new Rivoli Bluff site we’ll double our land and yield even more healthy food for our community!
Come visit us for a garden tour, or join the fun during our staff Conservation Work Day on June 6th!
