Many church campuses hold untapped potential in the form of unused land. Imagine transforming these spaces into vibrant congregational gardens, where like-minded individuals come together, cultivate fellowship, and enjoy the fruitful results.
Imagine the positive impact on our community's health as we harvest the benefits of fresh produce. Not only is it delicious, but it's also a powerhouse of nutrition. And here's the beautiful part - gardening is more than just planting and harvesting; it's a fantastic way to build stronger bonds among church members, sharing the joy of growing together.
Now, let's sprinkle in some data to sweeten the deal. Studies show that gardening is a holistic activity, reducing stress, increasing physical activity, and improving mood and mental well-being. "As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty." (Matthew 13:23)
This Bible verse beautifully encapsulates the spirit of planting seeds, nurturing growth, and reaping a bountiful harvest. Let's heed the call, get our hands in the soil, and sow the seeds of community together! 🌱✨

Houseplants help you breathe better! When you breathe, your body takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
This opposite pattern of gas use makes plants and people natural partners.
Adding plants to interior spaces can increase oxygen levels as well as purify the air in your home.
Research done by Kansas State University showed Increased oxygen levels sharpen focus, lowers blood pressure, and boosts the immune system.
They also found that in hospital rooms where there were plants patients requested less plain medication, experienced less fatigue/anxiety, and were released from the hospital sooner.
According to NASA research, plants remove toxins such as formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, benzene, mold, and trichloroethylene from the air by pulling the contaminants into the soil, where root zone microorganisms convert them into food for the plant.
