Growing Season Garden Blessing




In June we gathered for our growing season blessing. After a tour of the garden and patio plants and a devotional, Pastor Dave Van Kley offered a blessing prayer for our garden's (and gardeners'!) growth. Thanks to all the people who helped us celebrate -- your joy added lots! What to serve when our main harvest so far had been stones? Canapés of bread, cream cheese, garden-grown chives and other herbs, topped with colorful, sulfur-rich nasturtium blossoms from our window box. (One client admitted later, when the blossom fell off her hors d'oeuvre, she was relieved!) Also we had rhubarb pie made with rhubarb from someone else's garden. Below Becky Soderna, LSS URban Minstiry program supervisor displays our very first radish.
