Community Gardens & the Farmers Market

Participating in a community garden is a wonderful way to grow fresh vegetables.

Some benefits of gardening are:

Spending time outside during the warm weather
Getting to know neighbors better
Eating great tasting vegetables
If there are any extra vegetables,

There is always the opportunity to make some money at the East St. Louis Farmer's Market.

Many gardeners in East St. Louis grow more vegetables than they can eat or give away. One option is to sell these vegetables at the East St. Louis Farmer's Market. For more specific information, contact Kirk Goodrich (618) 875-9113.
