Chesapeake Employee Garden

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Come early morning, lunchtime and after working hours, you might catch a glimpse of a Chesapeake Energy employee tending the vegetable garden near downtown OKC. The employee garden takes up a full city block and contains over 60 raised beds holding vegetables, flowers and herbs.

There are storage sheds, compost bins, drip irrigation and a produce washing station.

Presently almost 400 employees are participating in the garden program.

Excess food is donated to nearby charities.
