Pastor Austin Carty said the garden on Laurel Ave. is envisioned as a benefit to the community with its plethora of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash and other fruits and vegetables. However, Carty said there have been several instances of individuals taking significant amounts of produce without asking. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to send a signal, \u2018Don\u2019t come around our garden,\u2019\u201d Carty said adding the whole point is to share. \u201cWe want it to be a community resource but the way we like it to work is for people to come by or contact us at the church before taking produce,\u201d Carty said. Carty said volunteers from the church and the community spend each Thursday harvesting produce. The produce is then distributed through the church\u2019s food pantry. Carty said since the garden was started in 2016, 863 pound of produce has been distributed to 1,341 people. \u201cWe have anywhere from four to eight or nine people on any given Thursday,\u201d Carty said when asked about the number of people involved. \u201cBetween our harvest team, folks on the garden committee and people from the community that involved, we have about 15 active participants.\u201d \u201cWe would very much love to have more participants,\u201d Carty added explaining that anyone who would like to help with the garden or take produce from the garden may contact the church office at 528-4738. The church offers a program whereby individuals and\/or families work in the garden and attend food preparation classes in exchange for a box of fresh produce. \u201cWe want more people to contact us about working with us to receive the food,\u201d Carty said."}
