On South Street next to the gym, is a vegetable garden built by an Eagle Scout from our parish. The Garden Ministry is made up of volunteers who maintain the garden structure, plant, water, weed and harvest the vegetables which are all donated to the Spotswood CUP Food Pantry. Volunteers also assist with maintaining other areas of the parish grounds such as the shrine and rectory entrance. Our parish school students also work with the garden in starting plants from seed and doing projects to help beautify the garden.
