Garden Ministry

The Fr. Ruschman Garden of Gratitude is a vegetable garden that provides fresh produce to local nonprofit organizations serving people in need. The garden is named in honor of Father Albert Ruschman, a local priest and avid gardener, who served at our parish in the summer of 2005.
Volunteers perform 100 percent of the garden’s planting, maintenance, harvesting, and delivery of its produce. It is a very family-friendly activity and ideal for all ages. Working the garden is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, families, parish groups (Men’s Group, Confirmation groups, Youth Group, CRHP, small prayer groups, etc.), and students looking for service hours. This is a simple way to get involved with feeding our food insecure neighbors in a unique and specific way.
Planting takes place in the spring; see the parish bulletin for dates. Harvesting takes place from early June to mid-October, on Monday evenings at 6:30pm and Thursday mornings at 8:30 a.m. All produce is given to Rose Garden Missions Food pantry. Deliveries are made twice per week on Tuesday mornings and after harvesting on Thursdays. Sign up to be added to the email list for news, or just come ready to work.
