The garden produces an abundance of crops!


All ages enjoy working in the LifeGARDEN!


Produce from the communal section is donated to area food shelves.

  

LifeGARDEN, Lord of Life's Community Garden   

Thank you to the 40+ people who turned out Saturday, April 28 (in the rain and cold) to work on our new raised beds and preparing the communal fields.

Future workdays will be Saturdays, May 5, 12 and 19 beginning at 8 am, for preparing the communal fields for planting.
