The Community Garden at Christ’s Lutheran Church – Oreland is a great way to grow fresh produce for your household while also providing fresh produce weekly to the “Loaves & Fishes” food pantry in Jenkintown.

The Community Garden was the vision of Earl Uehling, a congregational member, in partnership with Oreland Boy Scout Troop #1.  Several Eagle Scout projects by Jacob Weiss, Jesse Schlosser & Scott Karlin have made the garden a reality.  A compost bin and a portable farm stand are the newest additions to the Garden. The farm stand will be used to collect produce from the community for delivery to a local food pantry.

The garden features a fence to prevent deer and rabbits from eating your plants. Each 4′ x 8′ plot has drip irrigation that is fed from rain barrels which capture water from the church roof.
