About this organization
Mission
The mission of Capital Roots is to nourish healthy communities by providing access to fresh food and green spaces for all. We serve Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Schenectady counties in New York State's Capital Region.
About
Programs empower local residents to develop their communities and improve the environment and their quality of life by transforming vacant lots into productive neighborhood garden spaces for beautification and food production. The programs foster environmental and urban renewal by assisting and supporting urban beautification projects, including landscaping, tree planting and educational assistance in techniques for gardening and horticulture to residents and the community. Programs bring affordable produce to low income families with nutritional education.
