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.

Friday Update.

Hi,
I harvested this afternoon.  Two big zucchinis!! some peas and green beans.  The bush beans are producing now.  
I also watered Paul since it looked dry. I still hope that we get the rain they are forecasting tomorrow.
I watered Matthew as well because the squash plants were wilting.
I removed the pea plants on the east side since they and the peas on them were all powdery. There were peas that looked rotten as well. I'm hoping that the cucumbers will now have a chance to grow.  I threw the pea plants in the city compost bin.
