On Sunday Sept. 8th Grace Methodist Church and the McPherson Community Garden teamed up with Great Rivers Greenway to help rejuvenate a former garden space along the St. Vincent Greenway.
The old garden, near the Ruth Porter Mall, is about 2 blocks distance from Delmar on Chamberlain Ave.
The goal is to help turn the old garden space into a new community garden. Mountains of weeds and vines were removed, areas of good soil was tilled, and the garden looks much better.
Now it is more inviting for neighbors to adopt and grow in.
This is a small step in ‘bridging the Delmar divide’ and adds to the attractiveness of the St. Vincent Greenway. S D resident Laura Patterson lead the energetic volunteers from Grace Methodist as part of the church’s goal to serve communities with needs, and all the groups are working to build healthier communities, decrease food deserts, and help neighbors connect with each other in healthy and positive ways.
As we worked on the garden space, neighbors joined the volunteers from Grace Methodist, McPherson Garden, and Great Rivers Greenway, and a small garden area in the front corner of the site was adopted and cool crops were planted for late season harvest.
