Abstract:	The implementation of urban school-based agricultural education programs has been a topic of growing interest. The literature indicates that urban programs are increasing in number, presenting unique challenges in implementation and programming. This case study examined a program in an urban community which blended traditional and nontraditional SBAE programmatic elements. The program elements traditional to agricultural education included a barn with livestock and greenhouse focused on floral production. The more unique programmatic elements included the contextualization of agriculture over agricultural content, an emphasis on DEI work, deemphasizing the FFA, inclusion of a Junior MANNRS Chapter, and curriculum focused on food production in the greenhouse. The implications of this case study for urban program design are important in that there is no one size fits all in programming for urban programs.
