Imagine your community with these characteristics: Complete justice, good relationships between neighbors, creation at peace, good relationship with God, and abundance for all. Sound good? Christians call that, the Kingdom of God, and we just see glimpses of it now and then. We may not see it in this life completely, but one small step toward this, is community gardens.
A community garden is 10 percent garden and 90 percent community.
Everyone should be able to walk to their source of food; there is enough vacant space (especially in church backyards) that every low income apartment should be able to walk to a garden.
If you are thinking: How can I get involved? Here’s what you can do:
1. Go to the Community Garden Open House Celebration!
Saturday, May 12th
10am - 1pm
600 NE 8th St. Gresham
2. If you want to be a part of a garden community, or if you want to help form a community garden in your community, contact Adam Kohl 971-231-4191; adam@outgrowinghunger.org
