The pastor at Pleasant Hope Baptist Church in Baltimore, noticed more members of his congregation were suffering from diet-related illnesses. Additionally, 34 percent of black residents in Baltimore live in food deserts. So Brown turned to seeds, in addition to scripture, and started a garden on a 1,500-square-foot plot of land in front of the church. Today, that garden yields 1,100 pounds of produce — all to feed the community that meets weekly to worship.
@ChippySuave There's a local church here that does the same thing with a community garden. It's such a wonderful idea, especially since many live in places where they cannot grow their own gardens or have no access to community gardens. <3
