Green Team Community Garden
The MUMC Green Team has developed 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.
We have also built several 14' by 14' raised bed plots the are now available for planting. If you are interested in a plot please complete this application and return it to the church office - Click Here
If all goes well, we will be able to offer up to 30 garden sites for the 2019 growing season and hopefully some additional elevated (wheelchair accessible) 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.
