About

Urban Sprouts was established in 2004 on the research-proven foundation that beautiful and safe outdoor environments are the best conduits for healthy, economically thriving communities. They leverage their gardens as culturally responsive, interactive classrooms; sources of fresh, nutritious food; and as incubators for a 21st-century workforce that understands the importance of social justice and climate resilience. Support youth entrepreneurship and garden-based education by shopping for plant starts and salves at Urban Sprouts’ stand on Thursdays.
