Community Garden
The MUMC Green Team wants to start a community garden on our Church property.
The plans are to start with four demonstration gardens. This growing season we will have education and awareness programs that will give 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 will install 2- elevated (wheelchair accessible) gardens and 2 – 4’ X 8’ raised beds on the west end of the parking lot. These gardens will be used for demonstration gardens. The gardens will be purchased from and installed by the Victory Garden Initiative organization. The beds will be constructed around the middle of May.
With the elevated beds, we will be able to reach out to the area assisted living centers to create programs for their residents.
The raised beds will be gardened as demonstration food and flower gardens. One of the beds will be used by the church’s Sonlight day care students. The MUMC Community Gardens will partner with Victory Garden Initiative, The Ozaukee Master Gardeners and the Ozaukee Extension, First United Methodist of Hartford, WI and the West Bend Community Gardens for all environmental policies and space rental agreements.

We need your old gardening tools and equipment. If you have or
know 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.
