The nonprofit holds a free family event to introduce the community to its new demonstration garden.
Enjoy refreshments from Ice Cream King’s truck and tour the new demonstration garden featuring raised garden beds and fruit trees.
For Immediate Release
(St. Louis, Mo., April 22, 2024) A Red Circle will host its first ice cream social on Sat., June 1 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at its North County Community Nexus located at 9300 Lewis and Clark Blvd. in Bellefontaine Neighbors. The family event is free and open to the public with refreshments provided by Ice Cream King’s ice cream truck. The event will include a tour of the recently installed demonstration garden, which features raised garden beds, planters, and multiple rows of fruit trees.
Scheduled to open in 2025, the Nexus involves the renovation of an existing 43,000-square-foot strip mall and a two-story office building that were purchased by A Red Circle in March 2023. The Nexus is the biggest project in the nonprofit’s history, providing both programming and critical links to strengthen the revitalization of North County’s healthy food infrastructure.
The Nexus will consolidate the nonprofit’s headquarters, a community-owned grocery store, its Learning and Opportunity Center, a bistro, and the recently introduced demonstration garden. There will be rental options available including a storage shed with communal farm equipment, cold storage so farmers can preserve their crops, a commercial kitchen, and office space for health providers.
