The vegetable garden, at the north end of the church campus, is planted, maintained, and harvested by a team of dedicated volunteers. This team also helps maintain an attractive appearance of the grounds surrounding the garden. A portion of the harvest is donated to parishioners and is available, when in season, on a table in the Narthex.
