At the Shepherd’s Table Urban Garden, we plant, tend, and harvest three seasons of crops – spring, summer, and fall. One of our main goals is to provide a wide variety and supply of fresh herbs and produce for our chefs to season their dishes. 
 
We like to think of our urban garden as nourishing our bodies as well as our spirits. In addition to boosting the availability of ultra-fresh produce for our meal guests and thereby supporting nutritious diets, we are piloting garden classes for meal guests and others who want to learn gardening skills. There is abundant research that exposure to nature can aid mental health and well-being,. We offer training in specific gardening skills that could help with future employment opportunities for our guests, in addition to offering opportunities to learn about and explore new areas of our natural space.
