All Nations Community Garden
This is a demonstration organic garden using minimal tillage, organic composting, and a drip irrigation system. All Nations has missionaries serving in over 20 countries worldwide, and when they come to our Grandview training base for visits or more training they not only eat from the garden they get to observe firsthand what minimal tillage is all about. We grow local vegetables using planting stations as well as some tropical species that are considered "super foods", including moringa and grain amaranth. We partner with an agricultural missionary who works in Paraguay who helped donate our drip irrigation system. Most of our vegetables are eaten on site by our staff and missionary students who come through our center for training. We have been able to feed up to 50 students a day using vegetables from the garden. Neighbors in the area are now asking about the wonderful bounty they have observed from peering over the fence. Looking forward to another great growing season in 2014!

AYS Youth Garden
“As her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Alexis Jenkin took on the installation of raised bed gardening at Associated Youth Services' youth residential center, Home Ties! She hooked AYS up with Kansas City Community Gardens, who provided AYS with extremely affordable supplies, soil and plants. The boys at Home Ties helped install the raised bed and plant the tomatoes and peppers, with hopes for delicious salsa!”

Country Club Christian Preschool Garden
Edible landscaping greet visitors with sidewalk plantings of cabbages, lettuces and basil at the south entrance of Country Club Christian Church. Another area near the pre-school playground is full of vegetables which preschoolers nurture. The preschoolers sample the fresh vegetables and then the produce is donated to Harvesters. They also learn to help provide healthy, fresh food for people in our community who may have no food at all. The church’s Green Team hopes to demonstrate that it’s possible to grow a significant amount of produce in a relatively small space. In the past, their efforts have annually produced as much as 55 bags of fresh vegetables and 38 pounds of cabbage that were donated to Harvesters. The effort also helps to raise awareness of the Plant-a-Row for the Hungry program. Plant A Row for the Hungry encourages local gardeners to plant an extra row of vegetables or fruits and donate the produce to Harvesters. They then distribute the fresh vegetables and fruits to local food pantries, shelters and other feeding programs throughout Greater Kansas City. Pick-up sites are throughout the metro at local garden centers. For a list of pick-up sites, visit Harvesters.org.

Our garden lies behind one of two apartment buildings housing 11 tenants each who were formerly homeless and have physical and/or mental disabilities. The tenants help with all aspects of the garden - planting, mulching, weeding, watering and harvesting and cooking. This year the greens, tomatoes and radishes were the favorite crops, though the carrots did very well in the fall garden and were appreciated as well.

Harvesters Demonstration Garden
Harvesters combined forces with the Kansas City Community Gardens organization and the Greater Kansas City Master Gardeners to sponsor a large demonstration garden at Harvesters. The slogan for our garden is “a pot and a plot,” because we hope it will inspire service agencies and individuals to try growing fresh vegetables - so that there will be a pot on every porch and a plot on every block.
The whole garden is intended to make individuals and agencies say “I can do that!” We are growing vegetables, herbs and flowers in many different sizes of gardens: large garden beds, smaller raised beds and containers of different sizes. The smaller beds are constructed of a variety of materials – cinder block, recycled boards and limestone – which are inexpensive and easy to find. Be sure to notice the “Curbside Treasures” area of our container garden – we have used lots of fun, different containers to show that a garden can be grown in just about anything. Ease, affordability and recycling are important elements in our garden project.
Harvesters’ Nutrition Education staff incorporates produce the garden in their ongoing nutrition education program for children and adults. The Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City join each week with Harvesters volunteers to weed, water and keep up the garden. The garden produces about 1000 pounds of vegetables and fruits each year that are donated to hungry people in our community. Master Gardeners are at the demonstration garden every Saturday morning working on the garden - if you’d like to volunteer with them, please contact Harvesters.

The physical, mental, and social benefits of gardening include: providing sensory stimulation, improving memory and concentration, easing emotional pain, cultivating nurturing feelings, encouraging social interaction, teaching responsibility, reducing stress and anger, enhancing productivity and problem solving. Veterans participate in the Community Garden project to build self-esteem, self- confidence and organization. Veterans additionally practice social interaction skills, communication skills and use of constructive leisure and recreation time. Persons with SPMI and homeless individuals are often marginalized in their communities; participation in the Community Garden offers a safe place for Veterans to interact socially and experience a sense of community with other Veterans. Persons with SPMI often present a variety of physical health problems, among them obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The Community Garden offers an opportunity for Veterans to engage in light exercise in an outdoor setting and to encourage healthy eating habits.
