Celebrate the new community garden in North Minneapolis! Enjoy music, poetry performances, food, and gardening demonstrations as Jordan Weber’s public art project (deep roots) opens in the neighborhood. The vacant plot adjacent to the garden will also be activated with a pop-up farmer’s market featuring local vendors.
See the garden in its full form with blooming plants and veggies, check out Weber’s sculptural raingarden, and meet the many community partners that helped make this project happen, including the artist, Marcus Kar, and volunteers from Youth Farm.
Please note that only street parking is available and parking is limited.
About the Project
Jordan Weber’s Prototype for poetry vs rhetoric (deep roots), developed over the course of a two-year artist residency at the Walker, reflects a deep collaboration with the local community. It will feature an urban farm growing fresh foods available to local residents, two rain gardens addressing the high pollution in North Minneapolis, and a community gathering space.
