After the service of blessing on June 18, we had a barbeque lunch.

Everyone enjoyed the barbeque and ice cream desserts!

On June 18 we gathered for a blessing of the garden. We remembered a promise from 2001 that God would “blow on our garden” by His Spirit. This banner was made at that time.

Here is the watering station in the centre of the garden, showing a shelter and rainwater harvesting system in process of being built. Supplemental water and electricity are piped to the garden through an underground conduit from the church. The orchard can be seen in the background.

Some of the food to be donated to Michael House.

These two new raised beds were built last year, and are being used by two different seniors this year />
|
Our mini-orchard was planted in 2015. This year we have lots of apples growing and less problems with caterpillars than in past years.

Volunteers from Crestwicke Baptist church tending plots dedicated to growing food for donation.

The garden has a communal herb patch and pollinators like this echinacea plant which the butterflies love.
