EAST MADISON STREET COMMUNITY GARDEN

Stanley Design Group along with the Black Hills Council of Local Governments and the Rapid City Police Department have been working on the development of a community garden along East Madison Street in Rapid City, South Dakota.  The community garden is comprised of three different components, first, raised garden plots that community residents may rent yearly.  Second, the garden has a community kitchen component that will host cooking classes and will be available to small entrepreneurs for rent.  Thirdly, the garden has a compost and a  demonstration water collection system.  Other design elements include public art, outdoor siting areas, party gardens, a children’s play area and a greenhouse.
