Community gardeners will soon have access to more education. At a summit last weekend, Gateway Greening proposed to create strategically located hub gardens that will offer resources such as events, workshops, tool-lending and seedlings to neighboring community gardens. According to Gwenne Hayes-Stewart, executive director of the St. Louis-based nonprofit, over the next three years, Gateway Greening plans to turn six existing neighborhood community gardens into hub gardens. Gateway Greening currently supports more than 170 greening projects, 113 of which are food-producing.
