2013 Garden

Enkidu is located about 5 miles south of Knoxville, Illinois. We practice no-till, organic, companion gardening and use raised beds, green rows, and sheet mulching to keep weeds down. We often experiment with different plants and plant a variety of heirlooms. Our main production garden always has 100+ heirloom tomatoes as well as sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, carrots, radishes, peppers, greens, okra, eggplants, corn, beans, squash, and fruit bushes.

Wildflowers

The farm is surrounded by timber and farmland. We have some remnant prairies and woodlands on our land and several native gardens including a shaded woodland garden and a monarch waystation. We have several native plants including goldenrod, kidney-leaved buttercups, common milkweed, field horsetail, stinging nettle, bloodroot, cutleaf toothwort, maidenhair fern, bedstraw, phlox, geranium, jack-in-the-pulpit, mayapple, black snake root, wild carrot, prairie fleabane, blackberries, and elm trees.
