More about Geer Street Learning Garden: The garden has twelve vegetable beds, community garden beds, fruit trees, a small greenhouse, three beehives, a vermicompost system, a perennial rain garden, a pollinator garden and areas for community gatherings...all on only a quarter-acre lot! Conveniently located in Durham’s urban food corridor, the garden neighbors include Reinvestment Partners, Farmer Foodshare, and an urban demonstration apiary managed by Bee Downtown. The heart of the Geer Street Learning Garden is the countless community partnerships we have built in Durham. The produce grown at the Geer Street Learning Garden is delivered to two local food pantries – Emanuel Tabernacle Holiness Church and Iglesia Presbiteriana Emanuel. Both churches host regular food distributions open to the public. Additionally, produce is donated directly across the street to Southlight Healthcare, which provides produce and food donations to clients participating in their support services.
