NO GREATER LOVE GARDEN UPDATE
The No Greater Love Garden Committee extends our sincere appreciation to the volunteers who were instrumental in our March Garden Preparatory Workday. We were blessed with over 45 people who came with tremendous spirit, and some very helpful equipment, that lead to the complete Spring tune up of the entire Garden. This included reapplying wood chips in the walkways, moving 16 yards of mushroom compost, turning over soil in all 82 beds and most importantly showing the Spirit of the Lord in caring for our neighbors. We are grateful for all who contributed, including our social team who kept us fed, and all those who prayed for good weather for our Spring Garden Preparatory Workday. The School children will be planting the early spring seeds.
Our next Workday is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 9 to 11 am and Planting Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 17, 9 am to noon.
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.
If you are interested or have questions please contact us at: garden@visitationbvm.org.
See you in the Garden.
