Peace Lutheran Church’s 3.5-acre garden and nature space benefits the members of Peace Lutheran, the local preschool program, the greater community, and people experiencing hunger.
2.5 acres are being landscaped for multi-purpose uses and wildlife habitat (especially pollinators) and one acre is a vegetable garden. Some of the goals of this garden include providing:
- a community gathering spot
- a place for children to recreate and observe nature
- healthy food for people in need
- to encourage a healthy lifestyle of walking, eating fresh food, and gardening
- to provide a place for people to bond, share a sense of community
- A place for people to quiet their minds and connect with their spirit
- A wildlife corridor with mostly native plants to support the insects and pollinators, which, in turn support birds and other wildlife as well as pollinating food for people
