  • Building Urban Roots with Jenny Angius and Sydney Roberts | The Beet

    Building Urban Roots with Jenny Angius and Sydney Roberts | The Beet
    Jun 2 2025
    Episode Description: In this episode of the Beet podcast, Logan chats with Jenny Angius and Sydney Roberts of Urban Roots in Reno, Nevada. On less than an acre, they're growing tons of food and building community. With raised and in-ground beds, their farm is a hands-on classroom for kids, parents, teachers, and students alike. About Urban Roots: Urban Roots began in 2009 with a mission to use gardening as a tool for S.T.E.A.M. education, environmental stewardship, and nutrition. In partnership with local schools, the program grew, leading to the creation of a teaching farm in west Reno that offers hands-on learning through camps, field trips, and teacher training. In 2017, Urban Roots expanded to its current location, where it cultivates produce and hosts year-round outdoor education. During the challenges of 2020, the organization adapted by launching at-home learning and indoor gardening kits, ensuring families could stay connected to nature and learning.

I wasn’t expecting so much information with how’s and why’s and ethics discussions. It was refreshing!
His voice is also nice to listen to. It’s not exactly soothing, but it’s crisp and not twangy.
Finally, I appreciate the directions to videos and other formats of information.

Love the information!

There were good recommendations for natives but when when trifoliate orange was mentioned I was disappointed. This plant is considered an invasive species.

Good with one exception
