NO GREATER LOVE GARDEN UPDATE
It’s time to think Spring! The School children, with the help of their teachers and volunteers, are already busy in the Greenhouse planting the seeds for this year’s Garden. Students are learning about the scientific method of collecting data and the science of gardening as well as the importance of growing and sharing fresh produce for the food pantry at the Patrician Society in Norristown.
Your help is needed to prepare the Garden for an Early Spring Planting on Saturday, March 15 from 8 AM to noon. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Rain date: Saturday, March 22.
If you are unable to help physically but would like to support our efforts, you can make a monetary donation specifying the No Greater Love Garden. Also, gift cards to Home Depot, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply Company, or Costco would be helpful. Donations can be dropped off to the Rectory or put in the Sunday collection basket.
And as always, your prayers for fair weather, rain in due season, laborers to tend the crop, and a bountiful harvest are needed most. (...and no bad bugs!)
If you are interested or have questions please contact us at: garden@visitationbvm.org.
See you in the Garden.
See you in the Garden.
