Members of the
Raytown Community Garden delivered a large pot full of potentially delicious to our doorstep. Now in their second year, these core volunteers are offering gardeners (and cooks) an opportunity to engage in a truly organic project. Not only is the produce organic, but so is the process. Even though there are some basic constructs, the garden takes on the character of the hands turning the dirt. This is a big part of community gardening. So, now we (including you) get to witness the growth and then enjoy the harvest.
This sample exhibit features these plants:
- Red Pear Tomato
- Bright Lights Chard
- Asylum
- Curly Leaf Purple Basil
- Gerbera Daisies
- Queen Siam Thai Basil
- Two types of Thyme
