Here in Georgia we have a number of congregations that utilize their grounds for gardens. They feed their congregation and their community with what they grow. In an attempt to expand that effort we are collecting garden based curricula to send out to interested congregations. Does Stephen have a written curriculum he would be willing to share? Fantastic!
