Thank You!


Hey Composters!  THANK YOU ALL for “feeding” the St Luke Community Garden with your food scraps. The garden is now “put to bed” for the season. Winter is approaching so we must discontinue use of the black bin by the back corner of the church. You can continue to bring food scraps up the hill (please use the new steps!) to the large wooden bin behind the shed to the left of the garden. Please chop up the bigger pieces and use residential biodegradable bags if you like. If you want more information about the garden or have questions, see Penny or Ray Heller, Elaine Ramondi-Simpson, or Linda Martin.
