The St. Francis Sustainable Garden Project supports the hungry, at-risk children and their families in our area. We use a garden plot in front of the St. Francis rectory where we grow and harvest herbs, vegetables and flowers. In past years each harvest has produced over 180 lbs. of produce- all delivered to the pantry at Foundations Preschool of Ann Arbor, - child care center for at-risk, low-income families.

The St. Francis Grounds & Botanical Gardens: Several gardens surround the St Francis of Assisi campus of buildings, including, but not limited to, the church, school, rectory and/or parish offices. These gardens need to be a beautiful expression of hospitality, in particular, the entrances, to our fellow parishioners and visitors as well as reflect a statement of our appreciation for God's creation and nature.

St Francis Sustainable Garden: The 2014 Harvest Results

Patrick Sherry has tabulated this year's harvest, and I share 2 slides from his awesome presentation here.

Bottomline:  Through YOUR great consistent and thorough volunteer efforts in the SUSTAINABLE GARDEN from spring preparation through summer crop production to fall cleanup, we harvested and delivered 197 pounds of produce to Foundations Preschool (previously known as Perry Nursery School).
 
Thank you very much.  God is bountiful!  Happy Thanksgiving.
 
With deep appreciation,
