Community Garden

St. Mark Community Garden was established in the spring of 2010. Over 50 members of the church participated in 2010 and over 300 pounds of produce was donated to the Thurston County Food Bank.

The summer of 2011, Olympia Kiwanis collaborated with us sharing gardening expertise, seed potatoes and Oregon Sugar pod seeds.  As a result of this help and the help of many St. Mark members and community gardeners, 3000 pounds of produce was donated to the Thurston County Food Bank.

To volunteer in the garden or to apply for a raised bed to grow your own vegetables, contact Gail Frare, Garden Coordinator at gatofrare@comcast.net

An application form and a set of garden guidelines are necessary for a plot. Print, fill-out and return to the church office.
