Good Shepherd UMC partners with City of Thornton to provide flourishing Community Garden
In cooperation with the City of Thornton, Good Shepherd United Methodist Church provided the land located behind the church for the placement of numerous garden plots in 2009.
The congregants of Good Shepherd began the community garden by building the plots as you see located to the right. From there, the garden began to grow. Individuals tend to and water their own gardens. Water is generously provided by the City of Thornton. Excess vegetables grown in the garden areas are then donated to the local food banks so people may enjoy fresh vegetables in their diets.
Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers and to the City of Thornton for providing our much needed water!
