Community gardening is an essential part of our food security programming. Gardens provide fresh produce for our pantries and are an important tool to help educate clients on healthy eating and engage the community in food security awareness.

Located at the Lutheran Church of Good Shepherd in North Wilmington, this garden is a powerful demonstration of how a community garden can help ground a church in an important ministry, strengthen ties among its members and outreach to its neighbors. What started as a girl scout project with 3 beds, has developed into 7 beds managed by the church and 34 beds for community members, with an automatic irrigation system. Together, they produced more than 3400 pounds of produce for the LCS - St. Stephens pantry location.

This garden is at our Main Office, recently renovated with the construction of the Food Hub. Our garden beds will produce healthy vegetables for our food pantry and for the Delaware Food Farmacy.

Look forward to new produce and new stories, coming soon!
