4-H CLUB: Garden on Marais
“I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country, and my world.”
The Garden on Marais 4-H Club has been growing since Spring 2015, serving the inner city community of New Orleans. The Club activities center around educational themes of urban gardening, health and nutrition, and creation care.
Garden 4H Club Features:

Urban Gardening Practice
Club members engage in hands on experience from the planting of a seed to the harvesting of the plant. Garden on Marais provides substantial space for our young gardeners to experiment, grow, and learn.
Produce from Garden on Marais is being prepared for a recipe.
Food Prep and Nutrition Ed.
From seed to the table, 4H Club members are learning to grow, properly prepare, and love their veggies!

Creation Care
"The power of God is present at all places, even in the tiniest leaf...God is currently and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, and in the field." (Martin Luther) Through our garden we learn about caring for the earth, caring for one another, and caring for ourselves.
