Love to garden or want to learn? Join us in planning a community garden at the Doylestown Mennonite Church. Volunteers don’t have to know anything about gardening, so this is a great way to learn or to share your knowledge. We welcome volunteers of all skill levels including those with other talents such as building, clerical or distribution.
We seek to create a community garden that will donate a portion of its’ harvest to those in need. Food pantries are a valuable resource for families struggling to provide needed nutrition. But because they need to rely on an inexpensive, shelf stable and simple to prepare source of food, pantries are filled with processed foods. These are often high in salt, calories and preservatives. But it doesn’t have to be that way, fresh produce can be grown almost anywhere with only a few resources.
This first meeting is open to everyone interested in the project as we set our goals, decide what to grow and plan events! Invite your friends or get your own organization involved, more hands make lighter work, more fun and yield a better harvest! Join us 6:00 pm, Wednesday April 20 at the Doylestown Mennonite Church (right off the Broad Street exit of the by-pass), 509 N. Broad Street in Doylestown, PA.
