Seed St. Louis

🥳 We're excited to welcome two Americorp VISTA Summer Associates! They are with us for eight weeks and will be helping us with lots of summer projects.

Peter Hageman started two weeks ago and has already helped us with the big task of installing our new shade structure for seedlings. (More on that later!) He has a bachelor's degree in Public Health and is interested in using it to mitigate food insecurity in his community. He's excited to be at Seed St. Louis this Summer and to learn more about the intricacies of connecting community through gardening.

Erin Renée joins Seed St Louis as an AmeriCorps Summer VISTA to support the Community Projects team. Her work in St Louis as an multifaceted artist, healer and earthseed centers in creative activation work, encourages connection with
nature, and builds customized wellness practices inspired by collaborations with artists of various mediums.
