Get Healthy DeSoto embraces the concept of community gardening and has established an herb and vegetable garden. We believe this benefits individuals, local restaurant establishments, and the community.
We enthusiastically invite you to take part!
We are in the process of establishing a grant-funded raised bed community garden on the DeSoto Farmers’ Market grounds which should be up and running in 2026! We will have 18 raised beds for vegetable and herb cultivation as well as an indoor hydroponic tower. We plan to coordinate with MU Extension, local school, homeschool programs, and community outreach groups to organize educational opportunities for adults and children alike. We are in need of volunteers to help maintain our garden throughout the season. Workdays start on March 9th every Monday. If you would like to help us, please email Morgan at [email protected].

Support the Garden
There are multiple ways to support the garden, and we hope you’ll consider them all! You can financially support the garden by sending a tax-deductible donation to 520 N. Main St, DeSoto, MO 63020.
We are also accepting donations of new and gently used gardening equipment, soil, seeds, and fertilizer to get the garden going for the 2026 growing season.
Consider volunteering at the market garden. You can volunteer to help out at the garden on any Mondays during the growing season. Our first workday will be March 9th at 1pm. When the weather gets hot, we will shift to 8 AM! If you’re uncertain about being the newbie, please contact Morgan. She’ll get you acclimated to the tribe.
