Thar She Blows!

New water meter and the starting point for the garden's watering system.


The Hudspeth boys, Bill, William, and Andrew spent the weekend putting in a new water line for the Community Garden that starts in the front of His House just north of the church. The new water line will let us track how much water we use for the Children's Garden and the Community Garden--and help us accurately allocate the costs to the Community Development Ministry.



The end point of the water line is in the Children's Garden.

Because we now have a separate underground water line from the street to the gardens, Robert West won't have to spend valuable mowing time moving hoses and, overall, our church yard will have a neater appearance. We'll also be able to more effectively conserve water and be better stewards of the wonderful resources that God has given us.



A work in progress.


The picture above shows the complexity of putting together even a small garden space when the garden doubles as both a learning center for kids and as an attractive recreational area for both adults and children. Be sure to stop by and watch this work in progress. In the coming days Dave and Dawson Stice will be putting up the picket fence that will front the garden. Be sure to say "howdy" and thank them for their help!
