Peace Garden was expanded from 6 to 16 raised beds in 2019 when FUN organized volunteers to build 10 additional beds. Partnering with Peace Lutheran Church who provides the land and water, and Food For Others who provides monetary support, FUN oversees 8 families of gardeners, each growing food in 2 raised bed plots.
FUN provides seeds, seedlings, and expertise to teach and guide others how to grow food. We welcome people from a diverse background with little or no
gardening experience. Any unused plots are tended by FUN with all produce
donated to 2 local food pantries.
The 2 sisters: corn and pole green beans.
(Unfortunately, it was a hectic day when the corn was harvested and we didn't get any pictures.)

In the beginning of June we planted zucchini and tromboncino squash, tomatoes and more tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos, green peppers, and greens bean seeds. We know it's a late start but our collective green thumbs are excited about the future and the potential harvest.
Using bamboo, we constructed trellises for the tromboncino squash (shown below) and tomatoes (not shown below).
