Planting & Harvest
Do you want a garden, but don't have the space at home? Would you like to learn more about gardening? We have Master Gardeners ready to teach you. We have 10x10 "adoptable" plots available for your family with a $10 refundable deposit.
Many hands make light work when it comes to working a garden and your generous gift of time and labor (working the church's portion) result in the donation of thousands of pounds of fresh produce to Mid-City Nutrition.
Contact: Don Strauss (810)434-2380 or the church office.
