Goals
The goals of the Community Garden are to provide produce for the local community food shelf, share vegetables with our neighbors at the National Night Out event, share produce on Sundays on the “SHARING TABLE” and to provide space for individuals wanting to have a small garden.
Original Garden Committee:
Nita Nelson (First Chair and lead for process of Council approval and Foundation request),
Sue & Bob Fickle, Betty Funk, Dale & Karen Erickson, Karin Larsen, and Dick Schultz.
Trish Blomquist joined the group to help with organization and publicity. All gardeners have been encouraged to participate on the committee as well. The group has become a “family” and share in all the work and collectively make decisions about projects, planting, and harvesting.
Questions/Comments:
If you are interested in helping with the community garden feel free to contact any of the Garden Committee members, Trish Blomquist at 651-283-3173, or the CtK office at [email protected].

Community Garden
God, the very first gardener, planted his garden with love.
Today, we plant and tend the community garden with love.
We often say we plant because we rely on the produce.
Some say we plant for the beauty of the plants.
Reasons for gardening could fill a wheelbarrow.
God also planted his garden with joy.
We plant our community garden with joy in knowing that we are serving
our friends and neighbors with food for their table.
We ask God to open our eyes to see more clearly the relationship of Gardener-
Father’s love for everyone.
