Creation Care



"the land is mine...you are but aliens and tenants... you must provide for the redemption of the land."-- Lev. 25:23,24

As the Koinonia Community Garden, we are called to be partners with God in caring for creation in this place, being good stewards of the land, taking care to replenish and preserve it.

To that purpose, as the seasons turn, and the harvest of our summer crops is nearing completion, we planted some new crops for fall and winter-- carrots, kale, broccoli and onions.

As we clear out the summer plants from the beds, we are adding composted leaf mulch and planting cover crops to the beds for the winter. This will prevent erosion of the soil while adding humous and a green manure in the spring.
