There’s so much to learn every season in the Chester Eastside – St. Paul’s Community Garden. In addition to planting, harvesting and trying different fruits and veggies, the children studied insects, recorded their findings in journals and planted a pollinator garden. #communitygarden #pollinatorgarden #insects #journals #somuchfun #chestereastside

Our award-winning community garden has received another accolade. The Chester Eastside – St. Paul’s Community Garden captured third place in the Community Gardens category of the Delaware County Master Gardeners Annual Garden Contest. Way to go! #mastergardener #contest ##thirdplace #waytogo #chestereastside

Look what garden is ranked fifth in the latest report of the 2,600 community distribution sites registered with the PHS : Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Harvest Team program. The fruits and veggies grown in the Chester Eastside – St. Paul’s Community Garden are distributed through the CEI Food Pantry and for the Garden Club children to take home to their families.
As of Friday, (Sept. 24), we have donated 516 pounds of produce – and we still have potatoes to harvest! #PHS #communitygarden #harvesting #fruits #veggies #foodpantry #gardenclub #chestereastside
