ECS-NJ Presents “For a Bountiful Harvest: Parish Land Becoming Gardens That Feed”
Presenter: The Rev. Marshall Shelly, Rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Spotswood, New Jersey
Recorded on Saturday, May 14, 2022
Parish gardens are scalable, efficient and easy to start. They can be developed over time, and represent a great tool for service, mission and evangelism.
Learn about converting parish land from lawn to arable gardens, and how those gardens provide ecological, economic and social justice for communities.
