2025 Accomplishments

Expanded Native Habitat -
We installed three new perennial beds with support from a Brightside STL grant. These beds were designed to enhance habitat for native pollinators and continue to thrive.
Infrastructure Improvements
Community Engagement and Education
We welcomed multiple school field trips, hosted neighborhood meetings, and partnered with SeedSTL to offer hands-on gardening classes for residents and volunteers.
Beekeeping Program Growth
Our apiary remained strong throughout the season, with four healthy, productive hives supporting both pollination and community education
Plot Prices:
- Non-irrigated Large (5x20): $50
- Non-irrigated Small (5x12): $25

Link to volunteer waiver
-
We secured a grant for a new storage shed and completed repairs and cleanup along the north fenceline. These improvements strengthen our capacity to support community garden beds and ongoing native pollinator initiatives.
Our Mission
To be a space that promotes affordable healthy food options, urban agriculture, bio-diversity and can be a self-sustaining space for learning for the neighborhood and local community organizations.
