Urban Grown pevents kick off June 15 with pre-tour volunteer crop mobs, workshops, and events highlighting urban agriculture in Kansas City!

We’re excited about this tour- so much great activity is happening in the city around growing food. There are farms, gardens, roof-top gardens, school gardens, and community gardens, along with orchards, aquaponics, high tunnels and so much more popping up all over the place.

The 2011 tour featured 37 farms and gardens, with the week’s events pulling in over 2,000 people. The pre-tour events for children, youth and adults, covered a range of wonderful topics.
