On August 28, as part of our Gardener Worship Series, we prayed prayers of blessing over the plot of land that will soon become a garden full of pollinator-friendly plants. This garden is being planned and directed as a joint venture between ECC and the Eureka College Sustainability Class.
New Pollinator Garden Coming Soon!
On June 1, 2022 Steve Colburn, Steve Hodel, Jennifer Bass and Rev Robin Robinson met with Dr Katy Everett from Eureka College to begin planning for Eureka Christian’s new pollinator garden. It will be a partnership between the college and the church, with the prep, planting and maintenance a combination of efforts of EC students and the ECC congregation. The preparation of the plot will begin right away, and the planting will be done this fall after EC students are back on campus.
Once established this garden will be approximately 600 square feet of native plants that will help to feed bees and butterflies, as well as being a little patch of beauty on the southwest lawn of ECC, in front of the education building.
Our hope is that this will be an endeavor that can bring together our school and church communities while helping our environment too. If you’re interested in being part of this effort, please click here and provide your name and contact info. Thanks in advance for your support of this project.
