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.

Garden report for Friday

Hi Everyone

Yesterday (Thursday), we planted bush beans in Matthew where the asparagus used to be.
Also, we put some straw in Mark around the squash, but maybe more should be added so that the layer is thicker.
The carrots, onions and beets in Paul were weeded and the beets were thinned out.
We also put twine up to support the cucumber plants as they grow.

Today we harvested 14 oz of kale and 7 oz of peas.

Luke should be weeded more thoroughly among the peas. (currently, under that half of the bean structure, weed anything that doesn't look like a pea plant.)

Thursday Patrick removed three rogue potato plants that were growing in the peas, sneaky, sneaky.
