CORNERSTONE UMC TO OFFER COMMUNITY GARDEN

Nothing beats homegrown vegetables!

O’FALLON, MO – Don’t have the yard space for a garden but love the idea of growing your own veggies? Beginning April 1, Cornerstone United Methodist Church will be selling space in their community garden.

For $25 you will receive a 12 foot by 12 foot plot of land to grow your vegetables, flowers, herbs, whatever you’d like. The church will provide you with water and compost, all we ask is that you not use commercial fertilizers please. To reserve your plot, view the plots available or for more information please call the church office at 636-379-5334 or you can visit our website at www.umcornerstone.org and we will get you started.

According to Bob Dighton, Cornerstone Community Garden Coordinator, “This is our second year to offer the community garden and we are really hoping that it will take off this year. Last year we had three families with gardens, including one of our food pantry families, and this year we’re hoping for even more.”

Gardening is a great form of relaxation and a community garden is an interesting and new way to meet other people in your community who share your interests. Come and see if you have a green thumb and purchase one of the plots available. Visit Cornerstone UMC at 1151 Tom Ginnever, O’Fallon, MO to get your garden started.
