My Neighbor's Garden

Contact: mngarden@zarephath.org

My Neighbor's Garden has been created to give children and adults the opportunity to reconnect with Creation through organic, sustainable agriculture. The gardening methods used require minimal space, equipment and labor, so it's ideal for ANYONE -- including low-income families and mission sites around the world. MNGarden relaunched in the Spring of 2011 in a plot at the Community Garden at Duke in Hillsborough, Somerset County. My Neighbor's Pantry and their clients will be the beneficiary of all of the produce grown on our plot. We haold monthly garden classes at My Nieghbor's Ministry to teach people how to garden at home or at a community garden. For 2012, we are looking to create a team to launch a community garden at Zarephath. Further into the future, we hope to provide "Wild Things" summer camps, training for area residents as well as experienced teams sent out to India, Africa, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. (Hey, you can't accomplish big things without first having big dreams, right?!)
