“The Giving Garden”

This was a piece made specifically to give to a beautiful church in Wallingford. The garden beds outside of the church are tended to by volunteers. Fresh vegetables are then donated to those in need. From their website:

“The Giving Garden at WPC was an idea birthed out of many conversations, spiritual nudges, and collaboration with groups from the community. The Just Garden Project graciously supported the building and initial seeds for the garden, and several church groups have participated in the building, watering, care and upkeep of the garden. Neighbors have donated tomato plants and seeds, and the children at WPC help track how many pounds of food come from the garden.

…Past growing seasons have yielded over 250 pounds per season of fresh vegetables donated to the FamilyWorks Foodbank.”
