Community: Troutman Grange Garden

A couple of weeks ago my boss asked if I’d come out to a garden at his church and take some photos for them. I made my way out there not really knowing what to expect.

Through my job at the Grange, we offer a seed program, where you can pay a small fee to get oodles of seed packets! Well, Troutman Grange meets at a local church fellowship hall that has a garden behind the parsonage. In years past the garden was tended to by the preacher, every preacher they’ve had till now has maintained the garden. The church members decided that since the preacher didn’t want to tend to it, they would! They decided they would give all they grew to needy families in the area.

Troutman Grange saw a wonderful opportunity to partner with the church on this project, and donate the seeds for all the veggies!

This was the first time I’d taken my new 50mm 1.4 out and about…. and WHOA…. check out the detail it captured on that squash plant!!!!
