And So We Gather

One of the greatest hopes of The Orchard Project and I believe of any good project is the gathering of people.

People committed to work together...

...laugh together...

...and serve together. But how beautiful that on such beautiful days as this one, that we could all gather around the earth...

...learning, nurturing, and growing.

We had 13 people come on this 2nd Garden Day...as we have now called them in our email announcements..."Garden Day"...and what an enthusiastic crew! Each worked so incredibly hard! Folks of all ages came on this wonderful day!

Rocks were picked up through the field by a very determined crew.

Compost was hauled and spread over part of the field without any desire to take a break.

The field and rows were measured out.

Sand donated by US Silica was applied over the rows.

All in all it was a great day of fellowship and service. Thank you everyone!

"Thanks for going and helping today, Gracie."...Gracie responed, "It's you I owe a thank you."..."For what?" asked Jeff, "For telling me about it and how to help the poor," responded Gracie back to her Dad.
