About Christ Community Gardens
Located in Greenville, Texas, Christ Community Gardens has been bringing people together to show God's love to the community through produce. We first broke ground on the project on January 12th, 2017 and were able to have our first distribution day on July 8th, 2017. In Christ Community Gardens' first year of production, we distributed over seven hundred fifty pounds of produce to around 330 homes.
The Gardens partnered with a local food pantry to help distribute produce to the community. It had too much produce for the community it served, so the nearly two thousand pounds distributed by the church meant the produce would not rot and be wasted. The Gardens, using re-purposed pallets, saved about a ton of Starbucks coffee grounds and other compostable material from the landfills.
Our Future Plans
As phase one developed, the excitement and potential grew as well. The connection of neighbors to the church and to each other was amazing to behold. Phase two is nearly complete and for phase three we are adding an All Ability Garden. That positive influence for good has begun and Christ Community Gardens is ready, with your support, to carry on.
Come get involved and join our crew to show God's love to our community.

Things All Friends Of Christ Community Gardens Can Do Include:
Pray for the glory of God to be shown in and through Christ Community Gardens.
Establish manure piles on your property (if you own farm animals). The best way to make this happen is if you will make two piles in a location that can be easily removed. One pile for manure from October through March and the other pile for April through September. Turn the contents regularly with a shovel or spade. In about October and April, we can move six month aged manure to the Gardens to incorporate into our soil.
Procure gardening tools including, but not limited to; trowels, cultivators, hoes, hand pruners, watering cans, watering hoses, shovels, spades, wheelbarrows and gloves.
