New Eden Collaborative at First Parish Church, Newbury

2008-Present

csa-community-gardens-augustIn the spring of 2008 GAL began collaborating with the First Parish Church of Newbury, Greater Newburyport CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) growers, shareholders, and organic “Victory Gardeners” on an experiment in sustainable community. GAL will be working with the three communities documenting their experience of working together through out the growing season. GALs on-going projects include a community journal and a mural inside the church inspired by New Eden members’ input on their vision of a sustainable future. In July GAL and the New Eden Collaborative worked together on the design and construction of a float Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming parade. The theme of the float was The Octopus’s Garden- One Earth One Family. Our float won the coveted Mayor’s Award for originality and best exemplifying Yankee Homecoming’s theme of “Family”.

First Parish Church and the New Eden Collaborative will be working with Newburyport’s Pennies for Change on a larger “Common Cents” garden that will be dedicated to volunteers growing organic vegetables for local food pantries.

Other GAL inspired projects at the New Eden Collaborative for 2009 include:
