The Community Harvest Garden at Christ the King Lutheran Church in West Chester is entering its second year. We would like to invite YOU to join us in helping to feed our community.
The Community Harvest Garden includes the large Shared Harvest bed in which we grow produce for local food pantries. We also have smaller garden beds which people can “adopt’ to grow their own food.
No experience is needed! We are a teaching-garden and have experienced gardeners to guide novices through the growing process. Everyone is welcome to participate and to share their talents and learn new skills. Volunteer gardeners are needed to help with planting, maintenance, and harvesting in the Shared Harvest bed. Experienced gardeners are welcome to join us as a “gardening partner” to those who may need assistance in their adopted bed.
There will be a COMMUNITY HARVEST GARDEN 2022 INFORMATION NIGHT on Wednesday, February 9 at 7 pm. This meeting is for everyone interested in learning more about the garden and how they can get involved to grow food for themselves and our community. Join us in person at Christ the King Lutheran Church (7393 Dimmick Road, West Chester) or on Zoom (register at https://bit.ly/gardeninfo22). If you can’t attend and would like to learn more, contact us as communityharvestCTK@gmail.com.
