This blog is a forum for the Port Orange Community Gardens behind the Faith Community Church in Port Orange, Florida. With a calling from above, parishioner Pat Gill conceptualized the idea of a Community Garden in 2009. Pastor Gary Vanderveen graciously agreed to the use of the property behind the Church for the purpose of the Port Orange Community Gardens. We are now on our 8th Annual Garden Planting. Signup and planting is March 12, 2016

Weeding Reminder
One of our returning gardeners reminded me that we should mention to everyone about helping keep the gardens looking trim and kempt by weeding in the aisles. Pat is working on getting the mulch leaves, which helps tremendously. But, please, please help out by pulling or hoeing a few weeds in the aisles around your plot. For the new gardeners, after the first rain, you will find a horde of new weeds coming up. It is easy to gently hoe/hand spade in the squares/aisles when the weeds are teeny tiny! If you keep up with the weeding, you will not have half the work as your will if you wait 2 or 3 weeks.
