Joanie’s Garden

Located outside the doors of 1440’s Teaching Kitchen, you’ll discover Joanie’s Garden. This is a peaceful alcove where we find fresh additions for many of our dishes. Filled with seasonal heirloom produce, edible flowers, smiling sunflowers, and even a buzzing beehive, Joanie’s Garden is named after our cofounder and it glows just like her.
