Garden Ministry Update
From Trickle to Triumph!
This week brought some exciting progress for the garden. After volunteers dug a trench, laid irrigation tubing and electric lines, and tested the flow, we now have a solid flow of water directly to the garden! Many thanks to Ricky Bell and John Niewoehner for their efforts in this project.
What’s Next?
We’ll continue the watering project by attaching fittings (like a hose bib). We have also secured 400 feet of 6-foot fencing, which will soon be attached to the posts — giving us much-needed protection from groundhog infiltration. Step by step, we’re making it happen!
Spring Social
Let’s get together and celebrate in the Garden! Join us for a Spring Social on Wednesday June 4 at 6:30 PM. Please sign up if you can attend, and let us know what snack or beverage you can bring.
For more information on the Community Garden Ministry, please contact Christine Bell.
