Jerusalem Farm

Our figs have been carefully wrapped to protect them from the coming cold. This year was a best harvest yet, although the stems were all new growth. Can't wait to see how this new insulation works next spring! #hortsquad #celebrateservice #winterization #hardyfig #babyitscoldoutside @ Jerusalem Farm

Today and tomorrow AmeriCorps NCCC is helping us remove invasive species like honeysuckle from Kessler Park. We are preparing the park to plant around 1,000 trees and other native plants to restore a thriving eco-system. Also, check out Saint Louis University alumn Mary being a green billiken! #kcparks #celebrateservice #kcgamesforgood #laudatosi

*Please Share* The roof for Tina has been graciously donated and is completed thanks to Easton Roofing! Tomorrow we have Rockhurst University students who will help us clean out the interior of her house and complete some needed demo on the outside. In the next couple of weeks we have AmeriCorps NCCC volunteers who will be helping us repair her siding and bring the exterior of her house up to code.... We are grateful for all the support thus far, but we need your help! Tina has no running water in her house. Please consider giving so that we can make the necessary repairs to get her water in her house. You can read more about her on the GoFundMe Page. https://gf.me/u/y7g8tb #celebrateservice #kcgamesforgood

We have made an altar to give thanks and remember all the lives of family and friends who have died. If you would like us to pray for someone feel free to send us a picture or give us their name and we will add them to our table. #allsouls #allsaints #jfarm #kcgamesforgood #celebrateservice @ Jerusalem Farm
