St. Luke's Teaching Garden

Greetings my friends! I pray you are finding what you need to soothe and comfort you during this Covid-19 pandemic. Gardening can be helpful! Here is a very distant 6 foot Covid-19 hug from me to you!... ((HUG!!!)) Enjoy a virtual tour of the OUTSIDE of St. Luke's Teaching Garden today! Tomorrow we'll go INSIDE! All the love in the world is knotted up inside us my friends! LET IT OUT! LET IT OUT! For goodness sakes, let it out!

Greetings friends! With no in-person church services happening and the closure of our other community partners due to the Covid-19 pandemic, St. Luke's Teaching Garden has produce to give away! Tomorrow starting at 10:00 there will be packages of veggies on the picnic table for you to "GRAB & GO!" I will wear gloves when I harvest the produce and package it for you.... In the best interest of preventing the spread of Covid-19, only 1 person will be at the picnic table at a time and only 8 in the garden at any given time. And please remember to keep at least 6 feet away from another person. If you are unable to come out of your house but would like a package of veggies please let me know and I will see if I can make that happen! Stay safe everyone and God bless! Vicki Storberg Garden manager

Rancho Reiso is here in Southern California! A beautiful place with beautiful souls! Thank you for taking the time to teach us!
