“I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.”

What Is The Community Garden
@ All Souls Episcopal Church
The All Souls Community Garden is in full swing for our 13th year! Our garden grows a variety of vegetables in the spring, summer and fall.
All the food from the garden is donated to several food banks and organizations in the Hanover area or used for All Souls to serve the community. We sent out over 2020 pounds of food in 2024.
The garden is maintained totally by volunteers
We make our own compost at the garden. You are invited to contribute with your vegetable and fruit scraps, egg shells, coffee grinds, yard debris, etc. Please no animal products other than the egg shells. The three compost bins are located to the left of the garden gate.
We work on Wednesday and Sunday evenings from April through September.
We need people who can work in the garden, some to wash and prepare the veggies for distribution, drivers to take the food on Mondays and Thursdays to food banks, someone to maintain the irrigation system, and grass cutters!
Please contact Lee at lghanchey@gmail.com if you would like more information about our garden or volunteering
Our volunteers are members of the church, members of other churches, and people who what to make a difference in the world.

They prepare the land, plant, weed control, maintain the irrigation system, water the plants, pick our beautiful produce, prepare the food for distribution, distribute the food, clean up the garden, put down and maintain thand address seasonal needs.
No gardening experience necessary! Anyone can help in the garden!
