The ward garden committee with the blessings of the Bishop is now prepared to increase the opportunity to receive even greater blessings from working in the ward garden.
Our goal is to increase the number of people experiencing the joy and blessings from participation in some phase of the garden project. We are asking now that each of you invite someone to “join you” at the garden, not just invite them to go there themselves. This would apply to those that you home or visit teach. It would involve those that might be a little less involved in church activity. It might be someone in your class, or quorum who has not had that experience yet. It could even be your own family.
This would apply to any and all phases of the experience. First and foremost we need a willing army of Weeders. They will need to join by those who harvest, process and distribute the produce.
Be creative in thinking of ways in which tie garden can bless your life and the live of those you love.
In addition to the blessings received from sharing the experience, we are now planning a party to reward those that have heeded the call.
Near the end of the season, we are planning on having a celebration to top all celebrations at the Gill homestead. There will be access to their infamous zip line. There will be a wiener roast and shmores around a campfire. Entertainment will be provided by the Majors family and cowboy poets. Hammocks will be supplied. Games can be played in the park area and in the large grassy area.
Your ticket to the festivities will include having taking someone new with you to the garden experience just once or attending garden activities yourself at least five different times. You are asked to develop your own time cards and have them signed off by a member of the Bishopric, ward leader or member of the garden committee. We know any one willing to work in the garden will be honest about time keeping
More information to follow in the Friendshipper, ward program and garden blog that is Produceaplenty.blog let’s get going. The work to do is there for you, put your shoulder to the wheel.
