The Giving Grove at Rustic Roots Sanctuary

This video shares the story of how The Giving Grove has helped expand the impact of Rustic Roots Sanctuary by supporting the planting of a community orchard in Spanish Lake. Through this partnership, fruit trees and perennial crops are creating a lasting source of fresh, healthy food for the North St. Louis County community.

Unlike annual crops, these trees will continue producing for years to come—providing fresh fruit, education, and opportunities for community engagement while strengthening local food access and environmental stewardship.

The Giving Grove is helping us plant seeds today that will nourish our community for generations, ensuring that families across North County St. Louis have greater access to fresh, locally grown produce.
