Learn About & Support Peoples Community Garden

We want to make sure our patients and their families have access to nutritious foods that lead to healthy eating! That is why we started the “Peoples Community Garden” in 2019. The fruits and vegetables grown in the garden each season are available for FREE to Peoples Clinic patients.

Learn more about the garden by reading this article or watch this interview with KWWL!

The garden is on the east side of the clinic near our garage. You can see it when driving down Franklin Street! Last year, we grew broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, collard greens, Swiss chard, spinach, kale, lettuce, carrots, radishes, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and squashes.

2024 Produce Distribution Schedule

We are done for the season! Check back in the spring of 2025 for updates on the garden.

When distribution days are held, produce can be picked up from the table in front of Peoples Community Health Clinic. No appointment required. All produce is available for free to Peoples Clinic patients. Produce will be given out until it is gone. Table will not be set-up if produce is not available that day.

This project is being conducted in partnership with faculty and students of the University of Northern Iowa Center for Energy & Environmental Education along with AmeriCorps. Education about and recipes using different produce from the garden is provided by Iowa State University Extension & Outreach.
