Day #104: Give a Garden

The four of us had a fun time this morning planting a garden for the Salvation Army's shelter in Fayetteville. We pulled up weeds, broke apart soil, dug holes, and planted zucchini squash and tomatoes.

The shelter will use the fresh vegetables in their kitchen.

This was a great project for the whole family because our two girls were able help with the entire process from preparing the soil to choosing plants at the nursery to placing each little plant in the ground.

We can't wait to see pictures of the growing vegetables on the Fayetteville Salvation Army Facebook page in a couple of months.

Do you have a garden? What do you grow?

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.
