Building on West Parish's Green Covenant - where we work to be Stewards of the Earth, and pledge ourselves to act accordingly to help preserve God's Creation - West Parish has nurtured a Permaculture Garden.   A permaculture garden brings together the beliefs of sustainability while working in harmony with the ecosystem. 

Since its inception nearly 10 years ago, over 10,000 pounds of produce has been harvested from the West Parish Permaculture garden.   All garden produce is donated to charities in need including Emmaus House in Haverhill.

For 2024, the Permaculture team plans to turn a portion of this year's garden into a flower cutting garden, focusing on annual flowers that can be cut for arrangements to deliver to church and community members.  This is a collaboration between West Parish and Ballard Vale Church.  Our goal is to serve both congregations and any community members whose day might be brightened by a fresh flower arrangement.   Please consider donating annual bulbs, seeds or biennial plants.  Contact Linda for any questions or to volunteer.
