The Baring Cross community garden has been transformed over the last year in appearance and popularity. The garden is located near 13th Street and Pike Avenue. Many neighbors pick fresh vegetables weekly from the garden. This year, the garden has produced almost 4,000 pounds of produce that has been distributed to the community. The garden contains six unheated greenhouses or high tunnels which extend the growing season. The garden has an automated drip irrigation, along with weed suppression techniques in the high tunnels which allows workers to focus on maintaining and harvesting produce rather than spending hours pulling weeds. Pear, apple, and plum trees as well as four bee hives were added to the garden throughout the year. Members of the nearby Acts Church have served as great partners by assisting with the distribution of produce directly to homes.

The Dark Hollow Community Garden in North Little Rock is alive and thriving! It has been such a great experience to assist in bringing the garden back to a productive state where it can now benefit nearby residents. The revitalization of the garden did not happen overnight. Many in the Dark Hollow community volunteered their time and hard work to develop the garden into a thriving and producing part of the community! All produce grown is available to anyone in the Dark Hollow community. This fall, peach, apple, and pear trees will be planted behind the raised beds. Everyone in the community is excited and appreciative of the work that has been completed. This garden has had a positive impact on the Dark Hollow Community.
