Our Community Garden
The garden we built next to our sanctuary has enjoyed many iterations of life, each focusing on bringing people together, providing a place for respite and prayer, and helping mitigate food deserts.
For over ten years we have been growing fresh, organic fruits, vegetables and cut flowers for our community. We are currently in the process of transitioning over to a more native perennial garden. We still have our famous berry patches and an abundance of wildflowers for bouquets, and are growing more native fruits such as Serviceberry, Currant, Chokecherry, and Elderberry along with a host of edible and medicinal herbs and flowers.
Join us as we grow together and learn what it means to cultivate a sense of place, to be good stewards of the land, caring for the people, plants, birds, bees, butterflies and other creatures that call this land home.
Come on out to sit, rest and pray. Observe and enjoy the beauty of God's Creation. Read a book on our reading rock, or watch the Goldfinches flit about the summer sunflowers. The Garden is here for You to get to know what God created and called "very good."
Volunteer opportunities abound. Please reach out if you'd like to be involved, or if you need the healing that comes from working with your hands in the good clean earth, under the open sky.
