ABOUT THE GARDEN PROJECT


The Luke 10 Garden Project flows out of our congregational challenge to "Go forth and cultivate community, from our doorstep to the ends of the earth." We understand community as "meaningful, in-depth relationships between and among people," and gardening together in partnership with others is a vehicle to carry out the mission of cultivating community.

 

Some understandings we have about the project are:

 

  • We want to involve as many North Christian Church members as possible.

  • We ask our partner groups for their skills, gifts, and energy.

  • We offer our time, our energy, financial resources, and our church grounds.

  • Once we begin a partnership, we follow through to the end.

  • The crops harvested from the garden need to be shared -- somehow, in some way.

  • We commit to gardening techniques that respect God's Earth.

  • To be remembered at all times: The harvest is not food, but is community.
