Garden Plans > 2015: Palestine Community Garden

About this Garden Plan

An ambitious undertaking to be sure, the Palestine Community Garden provides free produce to the local food pantry 2 days a week. Vegetables harvested on Friday are often sold at the Main Street Market with the proceeds going back into the project. Volunteers also share in the harvest . This year the garden has been converted to raised beds thanks to a grant from the Presbytery of Southeast Illinois. It is hoped this will make the garden easier to manage and more productive. It is a work in progess and volunteers are always welcome! Sponsored by First Presbyterian Church
