The ECCT Community Gardens Ministry Network works to facilitate, educate, and extend support to people interested in starting community gardens. Gardens play a role in addressing issues of food insecurity within their communities.
This year the Community Gardens Ministry Network decided to utilize the ECCT Ministry Network Grant by aiding parish gardens with a focus on garden infrastructure. This includes things such as repairing fencing, making additions to a garden’s landscape, or restoring plant beds, ect.
Eight church gardens were selected as recipients of the 2023 Infrastructure Project Awards:
- St John’s, Vernon
- Grace, Old Saybrook
- Grace & St. John’s, Hamden
- Holy Spirit, West Haven
- St. Mark’s, New Canaan
- St. James, West Hartford
- St. Stephen’s, Ridgefield
