Community Garden Events



Cabbage Harvesting
Last Thursday, Buzz Durham and Rick Philipsen traveled to Anthony's farm for the third cabbage harvest. More than 200 heads found their way back to town and about 50 heads remained for the Leicester Welcome Table to harvest as needed. Cabbages were delivered to GO Ready Kitchen, Loving Food Resources, East Side Community Welcome Table (Grosse UMC) and the Veterans Restoration Quarters. At every location they were greeted with high fives, fist bumping, hugs, and well wishes for the New Year. Amazing how a few cabbage can give such a feeling of well-being and happiness! Turns out our desire to give to others starts when we are toddlers-- NPR News Hour reported research on how giving to others, investing in others is one ticket to our well-being and happiness.

The Community Garden is helping to reduce some of the pains of hunger with fresh vegetables. We are improving our health and happiness by sharing the garden bounty!
Mark your calendars! | Community Garden Potluck Dinner
Friday, February 19 | 6-8 PM | Grace Covenant Fellowship Hall
Come early and help set-up or stay late and help clean-up. Past, current and future gardeners are welcome. Along with sharing food and laughter around a common table we will set our expectations for the garden season and begin to organize ourselves into gardening teams. All are welcome. More information on the Community Garden can be found here.
