Community Garden

The Summit Community Garden has been put to bed for the winter, but we volunteers are taking this cold season to reflect on the progress of this past year and plan for spring. Year 2010 was one of success for the garden: We mentored youth from our neighborhood on organic gardening practices, healthy eating, and cooking. We conducted first-time soil testing, implemented a design made for us by Susan Weber, and installed a rain barrel, made for us by Rain Brothers. We received a generous donation of a greenhouse from Wayward Seed Farm, and with the help of members of Summit United Methodist Church (SUMC) and students from the Ohio State University, we designed and constructed a retaining wall. Throughout the growing season, we were also able and delighted to share the fresh and local foods we harvested with individuals and families in the University Area community, as well as the congregation of SUMC.

A special thanks to those that helped our garden grow into something very beautiful this season — Quincy & Quintel Lyles, Adam Utley, Sheena Phillips, Chris Brew, Debbie Napier, Catherine Girves, April Blaine, Cheryl Ziegler, Clarence Caudill, Laura & Dylan Meister, Maliaka & Michael English, Renee Riegel, and Chris Gardner.

If you are interested in volunteering with us, and/or want to find out more information about the Summit Garden, please contact Britany Hoeffer at britanyhoeffer@gmail.com.
