History
From a church garden to a community garden.
In 2020, as the new church buildings were going up, a church couple had a dream of a "church garden" on the property. They recruited the help of other members who volunteered time prepping the soil, installing irrigation and laying out the beds. The vision for the garden expanded into a "learning garden" where young and old, experienced and inexperienced could come together to learn about gardening. Outreach was made to the middle school and other community groups and the dream expanded to become a "community garden".

The garden today
The community garden has become a place where:
People can have a raised bed garden box to grow flowers and vegetables. See details below.
Cut flowers from the cutting garden for weddings, funerals, and celebrations.
School children come and learn about seeds, planting, growing, and harvesting.
Sunday school children experience God's wonder and beauty in nature.
Small groups, families, and friends can gather for a picnic or find a quiet place to relax and reflect.
Students who need community service hours can help tend the garden.
