Who we are
We are a community garden rooted in the belief that growing food can also grow belonging, purpose, and faith. Through practical education, hospitality, and shared work, we equip neighbors of all ages to flourish as caretakers of the land and contributors to a thriving community. Our work is rooted in generosity, stewardship, and the belief that ordinary acts of tending can transform lives. We ask the question: What does it look like to be a good neighbor?
Get Involved
Donate
This summer, our goal is to raise $6,000 to build the garden. This will cover fencing supplies, a storage shed, raised bed materials, and more!

Garden Build Day
Join us June 27 from 9am-3pm at the church to build the garden!
If you have experience building fences, running irrigation, or digging grass up, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Coffee and lunch provided.
Please RSVP to let us know you're coming!
Feel free to come and go as you are available.
Kids are welcomed to come and play, but there is no need for them to help (as this is a higher risk work day).

Proudly Partnering with Arboretum Coffee
Coffee grounds for your garden!
Added to your compost in moderation, coffee grounds add structure, drainage, and nutrients! To use in your garden, mix with leaves, grass clippings, and all of your other compost materials, turning weekly. Coffee grounds should make up no more than 20% of your pile and are best applied after they have broken down for a few months.
