Why we grow...

Volunteering in the garden is a choice. I asked volunteers to share why they volunteer in the garden. Here are three of their responses. (They said I could share them.)

"I like to garden and do good at the same time!"

"I used to be very financially poor, so poor that one morning when my kids were little, I had nothing to feed them for breakfast but popcorn and a glass of water, and had to resort to asking a relative to buy me some groceries, which I found terribly shameful. God has lifted me up out of that situation and blessed me richly, and this is one small way of feeding those who need help as I once did. Plus, I see the miraculous glory of the Creator in every plant!"

"i needed to build up some good PR and Karma. My current job has a lot less community involvement than previous jobs and i was missing that. this seemed like a good way to fill some of my needs to help people. It also seemed like a good time to try new things."
