Community Garden Ministry
Nelis Dr. | Ustick/Ten Mile
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
Mark 12:27-28

What is the Corner Garden?
The Corner Garden is a volunteer-run, non-profit ministry of Calvary Chapel Meridian dedicated to growing and sharing fresh, organically grown produce and beautiful cut flowers with our church family and the local community.
When CCM purchased eight bare acres of land off Ten Mile & Ustick in 2020, one of those acres was set aside to become a community garden. The vision of this small space was to create a place where people could come together and serve the Lord outdoors.

Dedicated volunteers transformed what was once a rocky field into the flourishing garden it is today, where they continue to plant, tend, and harvest, with 100% of the harvest given away.
Each growing season, the Corner Garden provides thousands of pounds of organically grown produce and hundreds of jars of fresh-cut flowers to bless our church family and the local community.
During the summer months, our Sunday morning Garden Cart is stocked with produce and flowers from the Corner Garden. Members of our church family are also invited to bring the harvest from their own home gardens to share with others.
How can I help?
We are always welcoming volunteers and donations to the Corner Garden.
Whether you only have one hour per week to help harvest or pull weeds, or an abundance of free time to spend in the garden, we would love to have you join us!
If you happen to have extra tomato cages, T-posts, garden tools, fence materials, fertilizer (the list goes on!) or would like to make a donation toward future garden structures and materials, you can let us know by clicking "Contact Now"
