Old Schoolhouse Community Garden

Old Schoolhouse Community Garden In spring of 2016, a group of parents, teachers and community members started a community garden in the north field of Immanuel's property.

Food outreach ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Hillside - connecting neighbors, educating children, and providing fresh produce to local food relief organizations. The garden connects the community; building relationships on a foundation of sustainable agriculture and environmentally friendly practices that will nurture, educate and inspire the local community, especially the children of both the public and parochial schools.
