To date, focal development has centered around the Brookdale Court East 86/88 Street quadrant hosting the 9,690 square feet Eden Pear Garden, the 14,560 square feet memorial Garden of Fruit, Myrtle, Roses and Forget-Me-Nots, and the building and grounds office and storage/production yard.
The 5,780 square feet Gus Frangos Wisdom garden adjacent Daniel E. Morgan School at East 89 and Morris Court was dedicated in August 2024 as a teaching garden for 4th - 8th graders.
Planting began in April for the yet to be named 12,180 square feet Cherry & Berry Grove on the southeast side of East 88th Street, and plans are underway for the development of two gardens immediately south of Brookdale Court and our future education and production center on East 86 Street: the 9,120 square feet kitchen and greenhouse garden, and 9,120 square feet North Star Herb Garden in partnership with the Western Reserve Herb Society as designed by Marie Dowling, Principal of Benkhe Landscapte Archetecture .
2025 brought our first peach produce but unfortunately our yield was compromised by the evasive Spotted Lantern Fly. But one lone low hanging Belle of Georgia Peach grew to full fruition (put intended) and survived!
Our Cherry Berry Grove diagonally across from the 88th Street Memorial Garden established "bare roots" in April 2025 with the planting of several varieties of trees and bushes. Anchored by North Star Cherry Trees, the yet to be named garden includes Bing, Lapins, Montmorency, and Black Tartarian cherries, and a variety of berries.
