community garden

The Good Seed Community Garden is an effort put forth by both our church and the community members of Sharon Woods to unify and celebrate our neighborhood. The garden is comprised of several garden plots that community members can rent out. The plots are for private use. Neighbors pay a small fee to utilize the space. We encourage our gardeners to donate extra produce to W.A.R.M and other food pantries in the area. Please see the FAQs below for info about W.A.R.M,
