“Then God said, ‘Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.’ And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good.”
Genesis 1:11-12
With April’s thaw comes the Children’s Pollinator Garden Expansion!

Volunteers, including families, please come and join in the joyful experience of cultivating God’s earth. Youth and families are welcome and encouraged to participate!
