Join us as we dig in with native flowers and plants, fruits and vegetables, and a large area showcasing the six geographic regions of Arkansas. This exhibit has broken ground and will grow throughout 2025. You can be a part of it! Two Saturdays a month we will offer classes on how to plant fruit trees, cultivate berry plants, care for tomatoes, and more. Classes will be free and open to the public. See our calendar for dates and times (scroll down the homepage to the calendar).

Earth Station on Main Street donated a forest of fruit trees to OIRM! We have most of the trees planted between the parking lot and the museum while the others will hit the ground once the asphalt is cleared away.

With the addition of a donated sorghum mill and railway cart, our new raised beds are coming together nicely. Our new garden shed will soon be outfitted to resemble a 1930s home. We have been constructing and filling raised beds for months and finally planted seeds last month. Look for sorghum, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and berries!
