First Grace Community Garden

History of Garden: There was an empty lot behind the church with tons of weeds, trash trees, and trash. The neighbors complained that there were rats there, and we should clean it up. So we did even more, and built a community garden in that place in Fall 2006. Since then, First Grace Community Garden has served the community.

Types of Vegetables: Each person has different plants growing. We have lots of herbs (rosemary, oregano, thyme, cilantro, parsely, dill, savory, marjoram), some flowers (tulips, daffodils, butterfly weed, hyacinth) and herbal flowers (calendula, corn flowers, nasturtiams), and diverse veggies such as mustard greens, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, leek, kale, peas).
