Tomato and Veggie Garden

The St. Vincent De Paul (SVDP) garden allows parishioners to grow fresh vegetables for members of the community seeking food assistance from our food pantry. In our third year, we have expanded our crops beyond tomatoes to a variety of vegetables, including beans, cabbage, cucumbers, peas, peppers, and yellow squash. Parishioners interested in helping shcould contact Jen Mayer at 410, 647-4892 or using the contact a staff member feature. generally speaking, parishioners are asked to tend the garden for a week, which may involve stopping by the garden twice to water (if necessary), weed, harvest, and other tasks. At the beginning of your week, you would be given specfic instructions.
