Imagine a forest where almost everything around you is edible. Ripe fruit and nut trees form an open canopy. Fruits and nuts hang from many branches—pears, apples, persimmons, and pecans. Shrubs bear raspberries, blueberries, and currants fill the gaps in the canopy. Native wildflowers, wild edibles, herbs, and perennial vegetables thickly cover the ground. Most of these plants are edible, while others attract beneficial insects, birds, and butterflies. Some act as soil builders, or simply help keep out weeds. Here and there vines climb on trees and shrubs with fruit hanging through the foliage—squash, beans, peas and grapes. There is a synergy that is created as the plants are organized to support each others’ needs. This is an edible forest garden. It will inspire our community to gather together, learn together, grow our own food and rehabilitate our local ecosystem. We will be transforming a vacant LRA lot, which has become a neighborhood eyesore and illegal dumping ground, into a community space that will improve the attractiveness of the neighborhood, support native habitat and wildlife, conserve resources, and encourage healthy living and the interaction of the diverse community that is McKinley Heights. Rather than creating a fenced in, membership garden aka “community garden”, our goal is to open it up to the entire community, providing equal access to produce and all that the space has to offer. The McKinley Meadows Sustainable Neighborhood Project is made possible by a grant from the City of St. Louis, the Local Sustainability Funders Group of St. Louis, and the Funders' Network. Board of Directors: Rocco Danna, Anna Minx & Bryan Dematteis
