COMMUNITY GARDEN

The The Looking Glass Garden Club (LGGC) and the WCUMC are thinking about starting a NEW COMMUNITY GARDEN. The new gardenwould be underthe Greater Lansing Food Bank umbrella and be part of The Garden Project. The Garden Project is a program of the Greater Lansing Food Bank dedicated to growing healthy food and cultivating connections. The Garden Project provides gardening opportunities so that community members can grow, harvest, prepare and preserve their own vegetables and fruits. Through the cultivation of fresh food, The Garden Project also aspires to cultivate community connections as families and neighbors garden together, fostering a sense of pride in well-tended gardens that serve as community gathering spaces. We are hoping to attract 5 committed Church members and 5 Committed LGGC members to form a committee that would look into the possibility of starting a Community Garden behind the Church with the help and guidance from the Greater Lansing Food Bank, The Garden Project. We hope that a round table discussion will take place by April 1st. Please contact Pastor Heaton if you are interested in being a Church Representative to the planning committee. For more information: Deb Plichta, President LGGC 626-2039 or debplichta@gmail.com.
