Community Garden
The MUMC Green Team is developing a community garden on our Church property.
During the 2017 growing season we started with four demonstration gardens. The focus was on education and awareness programs that gave us time for major site preparation, fencing and storage shed construction. Hopefully, we will find area scouts or student groups that would like to get involved with the gardens for advancement and first hand gardening experience.
This year we installed two elevated (wheelchair accessible) gardens and two 4’ X 8’ raised beds on the west end of the parking lot. These gardens were purchased from the Victory Garden Initiative organization and used as demonstration gardens.
The raised beds were donated by the Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise
Rotary Club and gardened as demonstration food and flower
gardens. One of the beds were used by the church’s Sonlight day
care students.
The MUMC Community Gardens has partnered with Victory Garden
Initiative, Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Club, Ozaukee Master
Gardeners, Ozaukee County Extension, First United Methodist
Church of Hartford and the West Bend Community Gardens for all
environmental policies and space rental agreements. Copies of the
agreements and soil testing results are available in the MUMC church
office.
We need your old gardening tools and equipment. If you have orknow of someone that is getting rid of their gardening tools, plant stands, watering cans, etc., let a Green Team member know and we will pick them up. We are also looking for a garden shed, signage and a water tank. If you have access to any of these items please let a member of the Green Team know.
