On Saturday, May 8th, the Youth Group at Redeemer prepared the newly-expanded 4-frame garden. They dug, they hauled, they built, and they got very wet. It rained, it thundered, it poured, yet they worked 5 hours straight!!
Sunday was planting day. In the “Colonial Garden” frame was planted potatoes, peas, carrots, radishes and onions. In the “Native American” frame was planted corn, beans and squash. In the “Italian” frame was planted tomatoes, basil and parsley. And in the “Mediterranean” frame was planted cucumbers, hot peppers, and garlic. Some of the littlest members of the congregation helped with the planting.

On Tuesday, May 11, the volunteers for the Interfaith Garden, led by Carla Fortmann, walked across the Green to help complete the preparation of the beds. They dug and they hauled and they did not get wet.
