Blessed Sacrament Community Garden Project will unfold in three phases, with the aim of creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Our focus will be on
sustainable practices, enhancing local biodiversity, and fostering community engagement.

Foundation

This phase establishes the groundwork for our vision. We have developed a comprehensive garden plan, and will now set up essential infrastructure*, which will be the foundation for future
growth.

Raised Bed Gardens and Meditation Areas:

This phase will focus on inviting community members to explore, reflect, and engage with the beauty of the outdoors, while promoting physical and mental well-being.

Trees, flowers, and shrubs that attract pollinators will be placed.

Walking paths, a grass field for playing, meditation areas, and raised garden beds will be installed.

Gazebo and Fire Pit Area:

In this phase, we will enhance the garden’s social aspects by creating spaces for gatherings and shared experiences in nature.

After several months of planning and patiently awaiting the end of the drought, we are pleased to announce that Phase One is nearing completion.

Key updates include:

• The grading of the property has been finished

• The garden shed has been installed.

• Underground water and electrical lines for the irrigation and lighting systems are in place and ready for use.

• The Shed has had electric and lighting installed

• The installation of the fence is scheduled for December 2nd.

We are pleased to share that we already have funding in place for Phase One. We received a $50,000 grant and $36,000 from six
of our parish households.

We will soon share information with you about how you can donate your time and treasure toward our Community Garden.
