Our Garden in Old Lake Highlands

Our Garden in Old Lake Highlands “Our Garden” in Old Lake Highlands is a community garden with a bit of a twist. Here, there are no individual plots to tend or dues to pay.

This is a community garden in the truest sense of the word. Our Garden’s purpose is to bring the Old Lake Highlands community together in an effort to grow healthy food and healthy relationships. We will use the Back to Eden gardening method (see www.backtoedenfilm.com for more info) to produce as much food as its organic principals will allow (and it is a lot!) We will have regular work days to h

elp share the work and the wealth but the real reward will be our connection and the friendships that allow us to serve each other. Lake Highlands Baptist Church has donated a large plot of land and agreed to provide water but we are on our own for the rest. The great thing is that the Back to Eden method is a pretty low input way to garden. All that is needed for now is a friendly attitude and a willingness to work. In the future, we may need things like shovels, wheelbarrows, a shed, seeds and maybe some fruit trees but that is a ways off.

Thank you so much to our incredible neighbor and friend of the garden who has agreed to sponsor the Old Lake Highlands Garden for the 3rd year in a row. Thanks to Eric’s generosity, we have been able to purchase the needed irrigation, soil, compost, plants, and more that allow us to produce for the neighborhood. Please check out his page for any contracting and remodeling needs!

Shhhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone…we are planting onions again. In case you missed the great onion theft of 2023, we lost 300 onions to a crook with really bad breath! We will on the look out for the bad guy with bad breath this year.
