Sunflower Community Garden, Wichita, Kansas
After an arson fire burned down one of the buildings owned by Church at the Cross the congregation wanted to turn something negative into a positive. Although the church doesn't have much money, they do have land, and they wanted to do something to help the neighborhood. Six plots are available for rental. Produce from an additional 5,600 sq. ft. communal garden was used for cooking classes and a volunteer appreciation dinner. Vegetables were donated to 10 low income families. Grant funds were used for rain barrels, water hoses, tiller and fencing
