Herbs, Perennials, and Flowers

Herbs and Flowers

In addition to vegetables, we also grow herbs and flowers in the garden. These rotate throughout the year, but some of our favorites include:

  • rosemary

  • oregano

  • basil

  • zinnias

  • larkspur

Perennials

As part of the long-term vision for the garden, we maintain perennial fruit plants which include:

  • peaches

  • blackberries

  • grapes

  • pomegranates

  • loquats

As with other areas of the garden, these are communally maintained and harvested, giving members the opportunity to enjoy fresh fruits.

Our blackberries are particularly popular and are often available during our plant sales.
