All the food grown here is served in the Soup Kitchen!
A NOTE FROM TERRI:
The lettuce and swiss chard handled the last frost well. A garden fairy donated some trellises to the garden which will be used to trellis cucumbers.
Our fundraiser has been scheduled for the evening of Friday August 13th. Indian street food is the theme.
This Saturday May 15th at 9:30 we will be having a planting day. Many plants and seeds will be going in the ground. Please come join us. Many hands make light work.

Twenty seven middle-school children and their adult leaders from Bethlehem, PA spent the week with Randi installing an alternative-technique vegetable garden behind Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. They utilized wood pallets, straw bales, and tires, as well as a rain gutter grow system to grow a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs. They also added rain barrels with soaker hoses or float valves to minimize the need to hand water the planters. Using recycled cinder blocks, they built a 3 section compost bin. To top it all off, the kids made bird houses and signs as garden art. Their art complemented the recycled metal tools that were welded together to make "scare crows" for a bird bath and bird feeder.
