Garden Beds Return to Dunbar | Little Rock News

After a surprise delay in Burns Park due to potential WWII-era explosives, St. Joseph Center of Arkansas is bringing back community garden plots — 24 raised beds — to Dunbar Garden in Little Rock this fall. Funded by grants from Summit Utilities and Whole Foods Community First Foundation, the project pivoted when North Little Rock couldn’t begin explosive scans this year, missing the October deadline. Now, with support from local schools and a renewed focus on urban food access, the garden reopens after over two decades — ready for planting in spring 2027.
