Union Presbyterian Church of Monroe, Wisconsin, discerned that one of the gifts that our congregation had to share with our community was abundant green space, located in a residential neighborhood adjacent to a public park. When our session heard that there was no longer a community garden, we responded. We plowed and tilled two good-sized neighborhood gardens, planted by two families in the community and one single woman. Our Confirmation Class built a Little Free Library, placed it next to our front sidewalk and invited neighbors to take a book on their way to the park.
