A place to grow: Community gardens sprouting up at area churches - Freeport, IL

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is one of three area churches that will be planting a community garden this spring.

Raised bed plots will also be available for rent for about $10 a season. Although the final dimensions and prices have yet to be finalized, they also will be around eight by four feet.

There was a movement, probably started last year, that recognized the need for sources for food for people in the community who don’t have enough,” Bronn said. “We decided that a community garden would be a great way to enhance the environment and grow food for people who really need it.”
