Our Mission:
Through faith, focus and partnership Grace Community Garden will develop a sustainable ministry which provides healthy food for those experiencing food insecurity, and invites the community to participate, gather and connect.
Coming Soon Grace Garden
About Us:
Grace Community Garden is being developed in collaboration with Crece Urban Farms. The garden will be developed to support a mission to provide healthy, locally grown food donations to charities within Orange, and for the community.
Leveraging the unused property on our site, the congregation of Our Saviour’s hopes to build on the terrific expertise of Crece in our mission to provide healthy food for those experiencing food insecurity and for the community.
Grace Community Garden will offer our congregation and our neighborhood many opportunities! Learn about sustainable urban gardening through education workshops and to get hands on experience through volunteering opportunities. We are excited that we will be providing Our Saviour’s Children’s Center expanded education services through the garden. Community garden plots or plot rentals will not be available.
Progress Report:
During the months of April – May 2024
you will notice a fence going up around the property for the garden. Our draft project plan includes planting climbing vines that produce vegetables and fruit, are optically pleasing and provide privacy for the garden.
We are currently working to finalize a phased approach to the garden to balance cost and production. Our draft plan builds on the expertise of Crece, while balancing the seasonal production with the need to stay within our current budget. We will continue to provide updates to our planned approach on this page, so stop back again to check it out!
Donations & Volunteering:
Grace Community Garden will be supported and funded through our partnership with Crece-Coop, grants and the generous donations of our congregation and community.
