Community Garden

Started in 2012, our Community Garden is a communal garden on the church property open to members of the community including the Food Bank.

If you, or anyone you know, are interested in planting, maintaining and harvesting your own vegetables, fruit, or flowers this year, please contact Tammy Rutherford to “adopt” a plot in the St. James’ Community Garden.
