Description: The plant a seed ~ feed the need community garden at St. Christopher Episcopal church is a donation garden providing fresh organic produce to the food pantry at Interfaith Caring Ministries in League City Texas. We will be planting an orchard, fall veggies, installing rain barrels and irrigation, and building compost systems all under the counsel and direction of Certified Master Gardeners and Permaculture designers. This community event will provide labor for the garden and a hands on educational experience for the participants.

The garden is open to all individuals and groups wishing to volunteer in this community outreach project. The 1 acre garden will encompass (30) 150 square foot vegetable and herb beds, 36 fruit trees, a Texas wildflower bed and a children’s bed where the kids can claim a foot or two for there own and plant whatever they wish. It is an eco- friendly project in that we are encouraging organic gardening practices and reducing the amount of organic material (lawn clippings, coffee grounds, kitchen vegetable scraps) that ends up in landfills by maintaining a compost pile that will be used to fertilize the plants.
