Garden

We operate a 24-bed organic vegetable garden and greenhouse on our property. Our space is also home to a small fruit tree orchard and lots of flowers that keep the pollinators happy. We use permaculture principles to work with the natural ecosystem and use organic compost to support healthy, nutrient-rich soil.

Our staff maintains the garden with the generous help of neighbors, youth, and community members.

Throughout the summer, we share our produce with our neighbors, delivering bags of produce weekly to households on S Plymouth Ave. and Seward St. and providing parents at School 19 the opportunity to take home groceries during student pick-up time. We also offer workshops on topics such as container gardening and healthy cooking. It is our hope that through these efforts, we will begin to transform the Plymouth-Exchange Neighborhood’s status as a food desert.
