Kelly Rae Kirkpatrick invites you to share a summer evening farm-to-fork dinner on her urban farmstead in downtown Rochester, Minnesota. This productive educational site exemplifies regenerative urban agriculture featuring a rich abundance of vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, chickens, and more! Your attendance supports Kelly's vision at The Garden Lab, which aims to expand her urban farmstead, promote food security, and increase access to fresh food through her Plant a Seed initiative.
