Do you have a community garden at your church? If so, please consider writing about it for us. In particular, we’d like to know: how large it is; how do you determine who gets to use it? do you charge any fees or pass on any costs? do you have a waiting list? how is it laid out / what features does it have? how does providing a community garden fit the mission and vision of your congregation? Is it primarily used by regular attenders of the church or non-attenders? Photos are worth a thousand words. We also appreciate any other thoughts you have on your experience.
