West End Urban Garden

The church has partnered with Urban Ministry to provide a garden spot for a community garden here in West End.  The project is two-fold.  Families living in the community will be able to have their own plot to grow fresh vegetables for themselves as well as opportunities to learn about gardening practices, health and nutrition, and food security.  The second part of the project is that each of our food and family groups will be able to have a plot, so our kids can be involved in the whole process of food.  They will prepare the plots, plant the seeds, tend the garden, and pick the vegetables.  Then, in their food and family dinner groups, they will be able to prepare the food and eat the vegetables that they had grown.
