Project at Gideon Grove UMC

The Gideon Grove United Methodist Church near Stokesdale has a "Community Garden" planned for this year at the trailer park near by. This will add to the church's project of planting.

The church has been planting a garden for years. They are growing in pounds of produce raised yearly and looking forward to SPring planting. The Society of St. Andrews has not gleaned but picked the first harvest giving them the highest quality produce for their mission. They started in a small area of the church yard with approximately 100'x200' and raised 4,000 pounds of potatoes. Last year they planted 2.5 acres.

They are looking for "seed potato" connections. If you have any connection to help them get donations for seed potatoes, please contact Randy at drbraswell@earthlink.net
