Interest has been shown by some members of Saint John’s United Methodist Church, 2140 Allandale, in having a community garden if a suitable partner or organizer can be found.The church is seeking people to take ownership for planning, tilling, fertilizing, planting and harvesting. The church will furnish land, water and some volunteers. The church or local food banks would receive at least the first fruits (10 percent) of output and the remainder could be sold, bartered or distributed by the organizer, perhaps even as a source of personal revenue.
Lots of details to work out, but it first starts with this step: Do you want to be this person or do you know someone in the community who loves growing things?
