Garden of Feeden

In 2009, Holy Spirit started a vegetable garden on the grounds behind the Annex. This garden began as a means to help HandS. This garden has become a blessing to so many people, and in so many ways.

•  The garden produces fresh herbs and healthy vegetables for the HandS pantry for distribution to those in need.
• When the crops are bountiful, the vegetables are harvested and available for parishioners. A good will offering is accepted for the fresh, locally grown produce.    HandS can then use these proceeds when financial assistance is needed. 
• When overly blessed with a bumper crop, the produce is distributed to other St. Louis food pantries.
• There is a wonderful sense of community and sharing as parishioners are “playing in the dirt” together. Everyone is invited to participate in some way, no experience necessary, to help plant the vegetables, water, weed, and harvest the blessings from the land.   
• This Garden of Feeden gives glory to God by helping those in need while at the same time “Keeping Green”!
