First Fruits Garden Ministry will be hosting our first Planting Day on Saturday, March 28th from 8-12 noon at Holy Ground. Bring your gloves, trowels, rakes and shovels for a morning of planting our garden for the spring season! First Fruits will be providing seedlings for tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, beans and peppers for use in the Hill Country Community Ministries Food Pantry as our fresh produce offering. If an adoptor family or organization would like to plant produce beyond the list above, they are welcome to bring seedlings or seeds for their garden box.
Special thanks to Good News Youth who will be filling garden boxes with dirt on Sunday, March 22nd as one of their Service Sunday Projects!
Adoptor families and organizations are encouraged to “decorate” their garden boxes with garden ornaments, etc… Exceptions include no planting of morning glories or other invasives along with boxes staying paint-free. Adoptor signage recognizing family and organization gardens will be provided by the First Fruits Garden Ministry Team.
The First Fruits Garden at Holy Ground is a poison and pesticide-free garden that is organically maintained for the health of the clients at Hill Country Community Ministries and the congregation of Good News UMC.
