Charleston Power Family Garden

Charleston Power Family Garden Growing fruits, veggies, herbs and flowers for St. Louis City We are a mini orchard on a previously vacant lot in St. Louis City.

Since we moved to our current location in 2017, we have been settling and replacing fruit trees and waiting for them to get old enough to bear well. We grow hard to find produce varieties just for local customers. Fruits like Quince, Damsons, Pawpaw, Elderberries, and Prickly Pear have a home in our garden - right now we have Maypops, Peaches, Mulberries, Black Raspberries and Gooseberries as our

main fruits, lots of edible flowers, a large fresh herb garden, and various veggies (as space permits us to plant them!). Growing conditions are pretty great, we don't use any irrigation (just tons of mulch) or any sprays or chemicals.

I did it! I wrote the first newsletter of the year. Reflect with me on the 2025 season and look ahead to what's upcoming for us!

Above, our annual winter bonfire before we threw on an old Christmas tree It's 2026 with another growing season approaching. I hope this finds you all well and riding out a long (and very cold!) winter safely. The 2025 growing season had some great growing successes for us and some lousy losses. Our...

As you all know, I am a member and huge fan of Known & Grown STL. I was so honored to be given a "Golden Beet" designation when CP Family Garden joined the group.
Known & Grown is doing great work, and looking for more support during a year end appeal. Here is the link to donate if you can: https://knownandgrownstl.org/get-involved/donate/
Another option is to attend, volunteer or sponsor their upcoming trivia night. I'll be there, hope to see you too! https://knownandgrownstl.org/get-involved/events/

Together, we can build a more equitable food community. Every dollar provides more resources to achieve our goals. Can you pitch in?

We are open at the Virginia Ave stand today! Maypops, sunchokes, greens, fresh herbs and handmade soap will all be available. We also have a special highlight, a very limited amount of late summer honey made by our bees during their obsession with passionflowers this summer! It has a great, unique flavor. Come early to give it a try before it sells out - we're open 5:30-6:30 this evening.

Our stand is cancelled today - too dry, too hot. We'll plan to see you at the last two dates of the season, October 2nd and 9th.

Six pounds of pawpaws ripe yesterday! So exciting.

The stand will be open this evening, weather permitting: 5:30-6:30 pm and we'll have honey, soap, and fresh herbs available, as usual. We also have some mixed greens, a couple of cucumbers and just one pawpaw - first one to it is the only one to get any! Also the last call to sign up for our fall mini CSA which starts next week.
