Garden Planning Tools
Start your growth journey with these helpful guides.
Perfect Planting Partners
Discover how combining complementary crops mirrors God's intentional design, naturally enriching the soil and keeping pests away.
The Three Sisters
Corn, beans, and squash grow in harmony. Corn provides a trellis, beans fix vital nitrogen, and squash leaves shield the damp soil.
Tomato Friends
Marigolds and basil are excellent partners for robust tomatoes. They deter pests naturally while enhancing the sweetness of your harvest.
Sowing Through the Seasons
Following God's perfect timing, we organize our community gardens to honor the natural cycles of growth, rest, and renewal throughout the agricultural year.
SPRING PLANTING
Spring Rebirth
We sow foundational leafy greens, peas, and root crops as the soil awakens, trusting in the promise of new life.
SUMMER ABUNDANCE
Summer Harvest
Tending warmth-loving crops like vine tomatoes, sweet peppers, and squash under the full radiance of the summer sun.
FALL GRATITUDE
Autumn Stewardship
Gathering the final abundance, planting winter cover crops, and preparing the sacred beds for seasonal rest.
Wisdom from the Soil
How can we participate in the community garden workdays?
We gather every Saturday morning to till, plant, and pray together. All skill levels are welcome, and tools are provided as we steward God's land.
What should I do to prepare my garden bed for the new season?
Clear away past crops, gently loosen the compost-rich damp soil, and lay down new mulch to nourish the seeds just as scripture reminds us to prepare our hearts.
Where does the harvest from the Sown Seed garden go?
A majority of our fresh produce is gifted directly to local families in need and food pantries, fulfilling our mission to love our neighbors through the bounty of creation.
How do I discover the best companion plants for my vegetables?
Grouping flowers like marigolds with tomatoes creates a natural shield against pests. Our printable guides offer excellent combinations for organic growth.
