Community Garden

Hidden Alley Ranch is a Seed St. Louis community garden on a 0.4 acre lot behind residential buildings on Lawrence, Magnolia, and Botanical streets. The garden is only accessible through alleyways. 

The herb garden is open to the community so take what you need from there, but please refrain from harvesting anything else unless you helped to grow it.

We welcome anyone with interest (even if you do not have a plot) to join our “committees” which organize work on (and harvest from) shared spaces. 

The Chicken Coop Co-op

The Coop Co-op is a group of households who share responsibility for taking care of the flock of chickens who live at Hidden Alley Ranch. The co-op is organized with 7 shares (which can be split or otherwise shared), so that each share has one day a week where they have the rights to the eggs and responsibility for the upkeep.

The Chicken Coop co-op runs separately from the garden plots, but many of its members also have plots. Anyone is welcome to feed the chickens appropriate table scraps to reduce waste and to interact with the chickens safely (kids supervised please!). Reach out if you want more information about the chickens!
