Fall of 2020, Mt Bethel leadership determined that we needed to sunset the vegetable garden due to the the physical capacity of those who cared for the garden.  Wild flowers were planted to support our bee pollinators. 

Sharing Our Church Garden: When the vegetables are ripe and ready to be picked (late July) we will begin to harvest them and share with the Neighbors Food Shelf and the Mt Bethel Church Community.  If you are signed up to take the produce to Neighbors during Harvest Time please take about 2/3 of the to Neighbors Food Shelf     222 Grand Avenue West, South Saint Paul, MN 55075

Food Shelf: M-F 8:45 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m.

7/9/2019 The garden is looking great!! I picked the first small tomato today and ate it…it was delicious!!!  Pdj


June 13, 2019 This week the word went out that we needed tomato cages...and within 24 hours we had all the (used) cages we could use!! We were also able to cage the peppers and other veggies!

The plants are caged....but now we need about 50 strong 3-4’ stakes to secure the cages. If you have good solid stakes that you are not using that are just lying around your garage...let us know or just bring them to church and put them down by the garden or outside the back of church leading to the garden. When the veggies start coming in we will need sturdy cages and stakes to keep them off the ground!

Lastly, we have a pile of old metal tomato cages that need to be brought to metal recycling. If you can help, please pick them up by the shed by the day care playground. Thanks!!

Working as a Team to Grow the Garden!!     Co-Captains - Dave & Deb
