Downtown Community Garden - Des Moines Iowa

Growing Together @ the corner of E 6th and Scott Street...

To integrate community gardens with community development strategies ( & put good old home grown food on our plates! )

Notes

Got Mulch ?

Don't like to pull weeds ?

Remember to apply a little fresh mulch on the pathway around your garden...

This will go a long way to helping us all keep the weeds down and our garden looking its best !
