Description
Our Market Garden program grows vegetables in five urban plots on the East Side of St. Paul. The gardens allow us to teach youth important job skills, address food insecurity on the East Side, and sell produce to support our vital programming. In the spring, help us prep our garden plots for the growing season. In the summer, help us weed and maintain our gardens, and in the fall, we’ll put our gardens to bed for the winter. Harvesting also happens throughout the summer and fall.
There are a variety of shifts for this opportunity. Please visit UrbanRootsMN.org/volunteer to see dates and times and to sign up.
