The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Canterbury Community Garden (CCG) was held on May 7, 2010.
Parishioners, students, and community members gathered to bless the selected garden site. Canterbury's Mouse, Graham Mullen, did the honors of displacing the patch of soil.
Immediately following the groundbreaking, attendees discussed possible goals and methods of the CCG. There were strong suggestions to eventually fully integrate the community garden and the food ministries at Canterbury. For 2010, the goal is to work on the soil quality and to build support for the project.
The garden site needs to be soil tested and soil amendments may be necessary before planting to begin. Plants that are beneficial for the soil will be planted alongside vegetables requested by those involved with the garden.
