Garden Plans > 2012: Faith Ministries Garden

About this Garden Plan

Our garden is planned and maintained by members of our congregation and friends. We are utlilizing the garden to help our members to eat healthy. We strive to make our garden as organic as possible. We use natural methods of pest deterrents such as companion planting. We also are using our garden as a teaching tool for those who want to learn to garden. Our efforts have been supported by Columbus Healthy Communities and we will partner this summer with the Purde Extension Service with classes for our congregation and the community.

Additional pruning should be done each spring to keep plants from becoming tangled and to improve thier ability to bear. Successful growing depends on pruning the plant to 5-6 canes, along with training new canes to stand erect.

The bush will bear only on one-year-old stems. As soon as canes have produced fruit, prune them back to the ground to make room for the strong new canes. Additional pruning will be required to eliminate tangling and improve their ability to bear.
