Did you get a Call to Action? You’re not too late to join in on the fun! The fall season is ahead and so is a harvest- God willing- if you plant before September’s end . Let’s go! Here are 5 ideas to consider:
- If you received the Call to Action, you can quickly form a garden committee. Find a patch of soil on your property or containers for a container garden. Get a volunteer to manage the care of your garden. Gather committed volunteers to help out and go! PLANT. WATER. Pray for a harvest! ~~~~~~~
- Does setting up a garden seem like too much energy for your group this year? If so, consider encouraging your members, neighbors, and friends to set up a fall garden. They can set up a raised garden, garden plot, or a container garden on their own. Buy seeds and share them! ~~~~~~~
- Share this question:
- Which of the following can be used as container gardens:
- 5 gallon bucket, a rinsed out milk jug, a water bottle, an empty kiddie pool, a cardboard box, an old wooden dresser drawer, a hanging basket, cinder blocks, a hanging shoe organizer, a plastic storage tub.
- ANSWER: Every thing on the list! Pick your container gardening fun! Share photos of the development along the way!
- Which of the following can be used as container gardens:
- Plan a harvest party for November. Then, get participants who’ll sign up to share their harvest for the party. Along the journey, share pictures of the progress on social media. Set up a special wall/ bulletin board or table dedicated to your Plant Water Pray project to encourage others. It’s a great place for tips on gardening too! ~~~~~~~
- Whatever you do PLANT, WATER, and PRAY! Don’t forget to make sure your plants enjoy a sunny location. Don’t forget to use soil that is loose enough to allow plant roots to spread and grow. Don’t forget to keep a watchful eye out for a sprout. (The first sign of growth is encouraging!) Don’t forget to give thanks for a harvest yet to come. That’s Gratitude and FAITH wrapped together! Finally, don’t forget to enjoy the journey and have fun! ~~~~~~~
- On Facebook? Stop for encouragement, or better yet, share your project success here: https://www.facebook.com/nisti.k.delgroothe/
