With the help of a blogging friend, I've decided this would be a good way to keep those interested in our food pantry garden up-to-date. First, a little history. While working with a visioning committee at our church, Prairie City United Methodist Church, we were tossing around ideas of things that could bring our church family closer together. Some felt we have experienced some "drifting apart" since the implementation of a second service. One theme that continued coming up through our discussions was the fact that we are at our best when doing things that serve others. A church we visited had a food pantry garden, and after a lot of talk and convincing we decided to give it a shot!
We have a core group of garden tenders and many that have volunteered to help with the weeding and harvest as the season goes on.
Here are some pictures of the planting days....
