About The Garden FAQ Do I have to be a member of the church to join the garden? NO! All are welcome. What does it cost to join? A 10×10 plot is $50 for the season.This includes compost and straw for mulching, running water and use of some tools. What kind of gardening experience should I have? We have all levels of gardeners participating. First timers and experienced gardeners. Don’t be intimidated. Can I use herbicides or pesticides? Sorry, no. We only use organic practices in the community garden. I want to help, but I don't have a"green thumb". We need lots of volunteers to make the garden a continued success.
