Community Garden

The Compton Heights Community Garden, originally created in 2009, and rebuilt in 2021 has 30 double-high, raised beds with individual water spigots.  It is at the corner of Geyer and Compton, along Highway 44 in Compton Heights, and provides a site for residents to grow healthy foods, fresh flowers and herbs in the company of friends and neighbors. The garden joined the Seed STL network in 2021 and also hosts a Little Library and a place for small gatherings next to a large open field for children and dogs to play. It stimulates interest in gardening and promotes a sense of community and environmental awareness. Gardeners have grown a multitude of vegetables, herbs and annual and perennial flowers. Whatever your age or interests, we welcome you to join us. Beds are leased on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact skoesterer@swbell.net for more information.
