This year our church started a Community Garden giving families the opportunity to grow fresh produce while teaching their children how to garden. All members are allowed to partake in the fruits of our labor...only have to pay $10 a year and work 1 hour a month. Any food that is unclaimed when ready to harvest, is given to a local food shuttle.
We went a couple of weeks ago to put in our hour of work. The girls thoroughly enjoyed trimming tomato plants, picking strawberries, debugging plants, weeding, and planting pumpkins. We have already enjoyed 2 types of lettuce, spinach, herbs, and strawberries!
We're looking forward to more produce in the weeks ahead!
