Spring Has Sprung – Come Plant with Us!
Due to the rain predicted on May 6th, Creation Care Ministry team has rescheduled the parish garden planting to Thursday, May 14th, 6:00pm-7:30pm behind the Parish House.
Here’s what happening this season:
New Additions – Experimenting is fun, and this season includes garlic chives (which have beautiful flowers), blueberries, sweet potatoes, and bush watermelons for along the fenceline. We will also add marigolds and other colorful flowers along the edges of the beds to attract pollinators.
The “Three Sisters” Return – Return of “Tres Hermanas”, a.k.a. the “Three Sisters”, the Native American farming technique that maximizes the symbiotic relationship of squash, corn, and beans. This year we are using bush beans instead of climbing beans, for better balance.
Aspiring gardeners, green thumbs, and parents with children are welcome!
If you have any questions or if you plan to attend, email Maggie at [email protected] in case we need to reschedule due to rain. If you cannot attend but would like to help in some capacity with our parish garden this summer, let us know that as well.
