Thee Community Garden
April/2011
On Saturday April 9, 2011 the BPC garden crew got started on this year’s crop. After a delicious breakfast at the BPC Pre K pancake breakfast the crew quickly got busy filling the newly framed beds with a rich mixture of soil and mulch just perfect for a garden. The beds were filled in no time thanks to the eager helpers and the good quality soil. After the beds were filled and the soil leveled we planted cabbage and red leaf lettuce. Hopefully the deer will stay away long enough to have several good harvests. We will be adding other vegetables to the garden as the growing season progresses and the temperatures get warmer.

Thanks to all who participated and special thanks to Brian Buttram and the Buttram boys for removing the tires from last year’s garden and framing the beds. The framed beds look better and will make it easier to work in the garden this season. Two apple trees donated by Margaret Harris will be planted to add some fruit trees to our garden. We look forward to the day we can pick apples from our very own trees.
This garden will be used to grow vegetables for the church family and needy families in the local community. This is yet another project that supports the “Feeding the Hungry” theme for 2011. We plan for this to become an annual event so if you would like to be part of our garden project please see one of our church members.
