Community garden

We are eager to share our green space with our neighborhood. We love it that people who work on Hampton come and sit in our All Saints' Memorial Garden, enjoying the cool shade and the  soothing fountain. We are  glad when children come to visit the Lion Sculpture or to play games of tag or baseball in a larger area than their backyards will allow. 

Now we would like to make some of our space available for people in the neighborhood who would like to be part of a Community Garden.  People can grow whatever they want: herbs, lettuce, vegetables,  and flowers. We will ask gardeners to make a commitment to care for their bed for one year. We will offer advice and support to beginning gardeners. We will all learn from each other.

The principles of the Community Garden are:

The Location:

The garden is bordered by the church, the alley between Clifton and Locke and the Proehl Center (former rectory). It gets a good amount of sunshine per day, is south facing and sheltered.  The church provides tool storage, some shared tools and water. Gardeners are expected to tend their own beds and keep them watered and to share responsibility for the common areas (like borders of garden and paths between beds.)
