Growing Together

A CBC Local Outreach Initiative

Growing Together is 100 tiny community gardens growing in the homes of CBC attenders. 

Each Spring CBC attenders can pick up a fully-prepared 'Grow Bag' with a vegetable seedling. All you have to do is water the plant at your house, and bring the ripe produce off at the church. We'll make sure it gets to our local food pantry at Helping Hands.

How it works:

  1. Fill out the form to request your seedling(s). 
  2. Pick up your plant(s) on the specified date. 
  3. Take it home and follow the care instructions. 
  4. Return the ripe produce to the church building. 

FAQs

What type of vegetables can I choose from? 

It varies from season-to-season, but you can typically choose from 3 or 4 types of vegetables. In the past we've done:

  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumbers
  • Bell Peppers
  • Potatoes

How do I care for the plant?

Your 'Grow Bag' will come with everything it needs including the seedling and rich soil. You just need to provide daily sunlight and water. Each grow bag comes with a care instruction card (how much water/ sun, how to know when vegetables are ripe, and other care instructions). You'll also receive periodic texts with helpful growing tips.

Where do I bring my ripe vegetables? 

When your veggies are ripe, bring them to the church lobby at any time and you'll see bins for the various types of produce. Just gently place them in the bins!
