Started in 1997 with 24 raised bed plots, this garden has expanded to include six additional plots for perennial flowers, climbing roses on pathway arches. The garden and accompanying fire pit have become a neighborhood gathering area.

Two of the garden plots are used to grow produce for the St. Louis Park Emergency Program (STEP) and is tended to by the Garden Coordinator.

Joyce Krogh is the contact person for the garden, and can be reached through the church office at 952-929-0439.

A member of the Birchwood Garden has also started a website containing more photos, gardening tips, favorite recipes, and rules for use of the community garden.
