Wesley United Methodist Church, NW 25th and Classen, Oklahoma City, has launched a 'community garden' and hope to make new connections to their neighbors in the process.
A community garden is a place where people in a neighborhood can help plant, weed, water, maintain and harvest vegetables. There is no cost. So it is a boon to low income, elderly and anyone who might like to help stretch a dollar in these tight economic times.
Although they are starting with only a few beds they are dreaming big, according to property chair and garden dreamer, Guy Ramsey. "I have had this dream for a while. I even took classes to learn more about community gardening. I am excited that Wesley is reaching out in this manner."
