“The Lord God took the man and
put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”
(Genesis 2:15)
Garden greetings everyone!
After a chilly wet past few weeks, our garden is now officially wide
awake and we are so thankful to be finally beginning our 5th year of
The Garden of Concord! Though our “Wake
Up” day was brisk, we were warmed by God’s presence as we shared membership
info, healthy treats, door prizes, plenty of garden work, and a plentiful
harvest of overwintered veggies. Lots of
great pics on our garden Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/media/
Membership is open to anyone interested in learning about and
growing healthy food to be donated to those in need in our community along with
taking home a share of the daily harvest.
No experience is required..just a desire to enjoy working and taking
care of God’s creation while experiencing unity within the community through
shared fellowship and the love of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Our workday’s remain the same this year which are on
Saturdays from 9-noon and Tuesdays and Thursday evenings 5:30-7:30 (beginning
after the time change). Kidz Thyme, a
program for our Jr. Gardeners meets Thursdays from 6-7pm. Annual membership per family per season is
$10 or $25 for all three growing seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall). We also have “Garden Angel” memberships available
for those that choose not to work directly in the garden, but want to donate
towards memberships for those who do!
Any additional donations towards our ongoing expenses to grow and share God’s
love in fellowship and fruits are greatly appreciated!
We enjoy many “out of the garden” activities to include
those scheduled for 2013 listed below. We
will also be hosting several “Pizza Parties” in our soon to be completed brick
pizza oven constructed by aspiring Eagle Scout, Kyle Gault. Donations are still prayerfully requested and
so appreciated for the completion of this project. We will also hold another series of informative
workshops over the summer with details to follow soon. Our garden activities are always welcome to ALL
members of our church and community and not just garden members! We hope many of you will join us.
