COMMUNITY HARVEST
Our Community Harvest Project grew from a small group of folks at HPC who wanted to share their love of gardening and their concern about a sustainable environment. With the support of HPC’s Reach/Grow/Send Team Ministry, the gardeners began to collect containers for planting vegetables -- holding the line against passionate desires to include flowers – and a survey of the church yard and surrounding properties was made.
Permission from District 106 to use a sun-filled area adjacent to the school play yard and church property was granted. Areas for planting beds in the church yard were selected, and a plan for a community garden project to take place from May to October evolved. It was decided that funds garnered from the sale of garden surplus would be designated for area food pantries or world hunger alleviation groups. Interest and support by members of the HPC
congregation began to spread and new input generates daily.
On District 106’s Annual Community Service Day, the heavy hauling was accomplished with the help of 25 middle school students and some staff and parental support. Beds were filled with good planting soil, containers were filled and some were planted. Arbors were prepared for climbing plants. Kale, carrots, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes, rhubarb, bok choy, leeks and more...all are either beginning to sprout or are waiting to be planted.
Community groups or individuals are being invited to help us grow our garden. Call the Church Office (708) 246-1911 or email Betty Tompkin (ruet2@juno.com) for more information.
