About the Program:
On the edge of St. Louis, Missouri, the Maplewood Righmond Heights kitchen garden grows food for the public school district's Seed to Table cafeteria program. High school interns work the garden 8 months of the year, overseen by a staff member. The potager-style kitchen garden features a tool shed with a living roof, a brick outdoor oven, and compost facilities. The growing space is comprised of 4 x14 foot vegetable beds, border beds, and a fruit area. We are looking forward to a great growing season!
