The Pillsbury Urban Farm, located at 1701 Oak Park in North Minneapolis, was buzzing with activity on Wednesday, August 2 as young and old alike gathered for an ongoing effort to introduce community members to the People’s Garden Initiative.
Sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Conservation Service, the project engages urban communities and residents in food justice, climate justice, and environmental justice.
Joining in the classroom without walls were participants of the Girls Taking Action and Boys of Hope, a summer engagement experience program coordinated and operated by the Power of People Leadership Institute.
Julia Brokaw of Xerces Institute and Molly Coddling of the Department of Natural Resources helped navigate participants through the garden and inner mysteries of the natural world.
