Jd Rivers' Children's Garden

In a picturesque corner of Theodore Wirth Park sits the one-acre JD Rivers' Children's Garden. For a quarter of a century, the garden has provided programs focused on children and teens, horticulture therapy and intergenerational programming with recent immigrants. From late-May to late-September, children plant, weed, water, compost, harvest, prepare, sample and take home the garden produce, such as vegetables, herbs, and a little bit of fruit and flowers. Extra produce is donated to a local food shelf.
