The produce from these garden plots at the south end of the Cathedral campus is all donated to local food banks, shelters, soup kitchens and other sites that provide food for hungry people.
We need volunteers who will do one or all of the following:
- Tend a plot or two for the entire season (April through October) by planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, delivering produce, and closing up the plots at the end of the season.
- Help with special projects as needed like mulching, moving dirt, or tending a plot while another gardener is away.
- Deliver produce to the various locations.
- Freeze or sauce produce if we have a bumper crop!
First-time gardeners welcome! Great as a family or group commitment. Contact Kevin or call 815 722-6653, ext. 217
Please garden with us for the 2025 Season
Individuals, families, with friends...
It may be easier than you think and hungry people are fed!
April 26 and 27, 2025- Bless This Soil
We will bless soil for the gardens at each of the weekend Masses. If you've already signed up for a plot, please join us to pray for a successful season. There will also be the opportunity to sign up after these Masses for anyone who would like to take a plot or two.
