community garden mission

The New London Community Garden (Garden) consists of a quarter acre open-air vegetable garden located east of the Dollar General store on East Main Street in New London. The Garden has successfully operated for the past 3 years under the New London Alliance Church management and beginning this year it will be

operated by Simon Acts, Inc.

 
The objectives of the Garden are: 

  • Provide a means for local residents to have access to fresh, homegrown healthy vegetables to incorporate into their diets.

  • Educate residents on how to successfully prepare, plant, tend, and harvest economical, healthy food.

  • Encourage families to participate so children can learn about growing healthy food with the hope of their continued interest and healthy diet choices.

  • Provide canning and freezing education to enable participants to maximize the benefit beyond harvest season.

  • Provide cooking and recipe information to assist participants in determining how best to incorporate the healthy vegetables into their diet.

  • Have participants physically involved in the planting, tending, and harvesting process which will provide mild exercise.

  • Promote Christian values of loving your neighbor, feeding the hungry, and community togetherness by having participantsʼ efforts help local residents who may be in need or not able to participate themselves.

  • Experience the awe and appreciation of Godʼs amazing creative power in the form of planting a seemingly insignificant small seed, then by providing care and nourishment watching it develop into a plant that yields multi-fold results.
