"In 2016, Renown Health partnered with Urban Roots to transform our empty lot on 1700 E. Second Street into a flourishing Urban Teaching Farm, which now provides the community with healthy, nutrient-dense food and educational benefits.

Urban Roots is an educational nonprofit organization dedicated to growing healthy minds, bodies, and communities by transforming the education process from the ground up and offers hands on education services to all demographics in our community. Urban Roots works with schools throughout northern Nevada installing schoolyard gardens and delivering interdisciplinary curriculum in classrooms. In offering these services with our partners who embrace our mission, Urban Roots has the unique capacity to serve northern Nevada with long-lasting impacts in the areas of education and health."
