St James Community Garden  -  Come Grow  with  us

​We at St. James are truly blessed in many ways, one of which is with a LARGE, GREEN campus!  Yep, we own a lot of property and most of it is still raw, untouched landscape.  We started thinking about ways in which we could be better stewards of this land that God has given us.  How could we glorify God in our physical assets?
​

Enter the Community Garden Project!

At the beginning of January, 2013, we started to make this ministry a reality when we broke ground on our Community Garden.  The plots we chose were right next to our playground and in them we erected two raised beds packed full of leaves, straw and newspaper to help the soil grow strong for our seedlings!  A group hauled out to St. James early one Saturday morning to do the diggin’ and had a grand ole time! 

​Look out for our adoption scheme where you and a friend or family member may officially “adopt” a section of our garden to grow!  Extend the invitation to help to your friends and neighbors!  We work with with the fabulous residents of Summerfield Estates (our next door neighbors), as well!

We are always looking for new and exciting ways to grow our garden and extend our love into the Southern Hills community around us! The more veggies we can grow the more veggies we can share with our neighbors! 

If you have any questions or want to take part in this budding ministry, please contact the office at (318) 686-1261, by email at stjames_sport@att.net, or stop one of our committee members at church on Sunday and let them know you are on board!
