Hillcrest United Church, Montague, PEI ... a church striving to live in God's way
​HILLCREST COMMUNITY GARDEN  
         
Since 2012 Hillcrest UC has shared part of its land as a community garden at no cost to the gardeners.  Each spring manure is spread, the land rototilled and ~20 designated plots labelled. Advertisements on Facebook, the Eastern Graphic, and the church bulletin bring eager gardeners.  Hoses from the church building provide water, a few gardening tools are available in a garden shed and a compost heap is growing steadily.  In 2021 an expansion began with rototilling a new piece of ground and seeding buckwheat which was plowed in later to enrich the soil.
 
         While most plots are tended by only one person, sometimes people share a plot, for example Hillcrest’s UCW, Mental Health PEI, The Kings County Food Bank, the Montague Library, and our Sunday School. Some plots even won awards from local beautification charities (Montague’s Library and PEI Mental Health).
 
        Currently Lenore and Roger Andrew with others oversee our community gardens
