Community garden

The vision:

Celeste Pix
Children and adults, parishioners and neighbors getting exercise, safe locally grown food and flowers, enjoying nature and the earth. We have canvassed our neighbors and have a growing group of gardeners and three Garden leaders. Gardens are quite small in our neighborhood and many people live in flats,  so community garden offers the St Louis Hills and Southhampton neighbors a place to be creative gardeners.

The Location:

The new garden will be bordered by the church, the alley between Clifton and Locke and the Proehl Center (former rectory). It gets a good amount of sunshine per day, is south facing and sheltered.  The church will provide tool storage, some shared tools and water. Gardeners are expected to tend their own beds and keep them watered and to share responsibility for the common areas (like borders of garden and paths between beds.)


gardenplan

The plan for the proposed garden, made up of 4 x 12 foot raised beds is here:

The garden will have its organizational meeting in January. If you would like a bed, or to share a bed, please contact the church as soon as possible and we will get back to you . We hope to construct at least one bed which tall enough to be accessible for people in wheel chairs or who have trouble bending. You can click on the plan to see it in a larger size.
