Spring is upon us and we have several new and existing crops and memberships already planted as we begin our spring season. The peas are peaking, the strawberries are starting, the tulips are topping, the garlic is growing, and the sweet onions will be a treat! We welcome 6 new members along with 3 garden angels and 3 renewed memberships…Thank you!
The community is invited this Saturday, March 5th and next, as we wake up the garden with donuts, door prizes, dancing, and digging! Many kids’ activities and plantings planned to include Chocolate Cake Peppers and Purple Carrots! Come see our new greenhouse and tenants (Thank you again John and Jim!) and help us pick our chicks!
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ (1 Cor 12:12)…and The Garden of Concord! You really don’t have to get your hands dirty if you don’t want to! Your committed hour could be well spent and graciously welcomed by weekly hand watering new plantings and theme beds. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and will be rewarded according to their own labor (1 Cor 3:8) We will have lots of flowers blooming by summer that would require regular trimming, cutting, and sharing. Bugs..we do have them and don’t want them..the bad ones that is. Many bug pickers make light work lighter!
We are also excited to share the garden with as many children as possible. Maybe you might want to help by reading a story about gardening, leading a planting activity in the kid’s garden, or any other ideas that you and we are working on. This would seed and feed the desire for gardening in the hearts of our “sweet peas” as well as enabling moms to have some gardening time on their own. We are hoping to establish a set hour/day (or more!) so any thoughts or suggestions you may have would be great!
Mark your calendars…On Sunday, March 13th, we will have a special garden blessing performed at the end of our worship service by Pastor David and Eric Prenshaw. We welcome back the cub scouts on March 19th as they work in the garden and share in a hotdog cookout with anyone that wants to join in! On April 2nd, CrossWave will be blessing our garden again with their prayers and plantings.
Thank you everyone for your continued support and prayers.
Come grow with us…it WILL be good!
Many garden blessings,
-Donna
