Warm-Weather
Crops Are Here!

The heat-loving favorites are rolling in, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, and basil are all producing great yields at the Harvest Tables this summer. None of it happens without help though: bees and other pollinators have been buzzing from bloom to bloom all season, doing the essential work that makes every harvest possible!

 
 

a Note from your farmer, Nadine

The rooftop garden at District Center is absolutely bursting with abundance. The greens are massive, the summer-loving eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes are laden with fruits, and the herbs have filled out into fragrant masses. The Harvest Tables have been piled high with vegetables and herbs every week, and we're looking forward to continuing to share the harvest with the tenants of District Center for the rest of the season!

What’s your favorite part about summer at this garden?

I love how many herbs there are in this garden, and I'm sure the bees can agree!

 
 
 

District center Garden’s Top Crop

Curly Kale

Over 275 bunches harvested so far this season!

Did you know?

Curly kale is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with more vitamin C by weight than an orange, and its ruffled leaves aren't just for looks. They actually help the plant shed excess water and stand up to heavy summer rain.

 
 

Curious how much food the District Center Garden has grown so far this year?
