The Story Garden
~ 3500 Humboldt Ave N.
The Story Garden is a quaint charming community garden located at 35th and Humboldt. It is an open growing space for all residents to plant and harvest. There are no assigned plots, but there is a snackable path to create excitement around fresh food for all the youth in the neighborhood. The garden was started in 2015 in response to a tornado that left the lot empty in 2011. It has since grown into a neighborhood gathering space for spoken word events, movies, potlucks, and storytime around the bonfire. To get involved, please reach out to Danielle.tietjen@gmail.com.
