The 2025 Kitchen Garden, a community education project sponsored by The Door County Master Gardeners and The Door County Seed Library, is located on Oregon Street in Sturgeon Bay, across the street from Martin Park. The Kitchen Garden showcases various sustainable gardening techniques that can be implemented in a small garden area.

The gardens within the garden:

• Salsa Garden: A collection of several different varieties of nightshade plants, spanning the spectrum from colorful to tasty. Also included: garlic, basil, and cilantro.
• Respite Garden: A blend of vegetables, herbs, and flowers planted in-ground, vertically, and in containers, arranged to support a place of relaxation and reflection.
• Three Sisters Garden: A Native American traditional grouping of corn, beans, and squash.
• Companion Garden: Companion Planting (or Buddy System) is the process of pairing vegetables and herbs in such a way that they enhance, benefit and protect one another, and avoid pairing plants that have adverse effects on each other.
• Straw Bale Garden: A display of the technique of using straw bales as a media for growing vegetables.

As the season progresses, we will provide regular updates and details for all of our mini-projects, with an eye towards sharing tips and techniques for home gardeners. We will also highlight our results to promote food self-reliance and sustainability.
