GARDEN MINISTRY - June 6, 2010

GARDEN MINISTRY

The Grace Church Garden plot just north of 53rd and Eastern and the Garden west of the soccer fields at Mt. Joy look great except for some weeds which recent rains have given a head start. The weeds in the rows can be taken out with the tillers. However, weeds close to the plants need hand pulling. The more people we can have pull a few weeds, the better the harvest will be. During the next two weeks, we are asking all the volunteers and anyone else who can take a little time to pull weeds between and around the plants to help. This can be done at any time. Just pull them and put them in one of the buckets near the garden.

In addition, we need three volunteers to run or learn to run a Mantis tiller for a few hours a month. If we can get the weeds under control, we should have a great harvest. Your help is needed. We encourage families to take a little time to add to our volunteers if they haven’t helped before. This is a great project to feed the hungry. Many hands make light work. Please give it a try and keep the garden project in your prayers.

Anyone with questions can either see Bill Cameron after first church or call him at 332-4898.
