Welcome to the HTSSM Parish Vegetable Garden

“Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.” Jeremiah 29:5
Have you heard about the new garden at HTSSM? Thanks to the initiative of Colin Shutt and Dave Pirrie, a new vegetable garden is being planted in front of the rectory.
Our hope is to grow food to contribute to the Southdale Chaplaincy and other agencies that help ensure food security to those in need.

Name the New Garden Contest!
The Whirlwind Campaign of Mariposa has been tallied, AND THE WINNER IS….
SHARED BLESSINGS by none other than Leslie Savard. Congratulations Leslie on your submission!!

Composting @ HTSSM
May 2021
For our gardens and the environment:
We are going to try and compost at our church and are asking all parishioners and their families who do not compost themselves to bring compostable materials to the church whenever they wish and drop them in the compost bins at the end of the west fence (of the veterans garden) on the Rectory side. At this time we will start with two composters and begin with #1 and when full #2. If you think you need compostable bags, they will be hanging there but if possible, please bring your own container and dump them there.
We will make arrangements for collection in the winter so you don't have to trudge through the snow.
Acceptable items include:
1. All fruit and vegetable scraps including peels.
2. Coffee grounds (filters if unbleached); compostable coffee pods; tea bags.
3. Egg shells well crunched.
All necessary grass clippings and leaves will be supplied from church property to give a nitrogen & carbon balance.
Let's do our part.
From your Friendly Gardeners on a Mission!
