Interview with Rev. Karen Hagen, pastor of Tippecanoe Presbyterian Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin about their new Rooftop Garden
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

You’ve had a community garden going for a few years now, but tell us about this new initiative.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Our Rooftop Garden has been completed and is growing with harvest coming.\u00a0 Education around the gardens has included the Webinar, local newspaper, garden blessing, and upcoming canning and food use in Divine Intervention\u2019s food programing.\u00a0 We are participating in our synod\u2019s just.good.food<\/a> program as well.<\/p>\n

How did you do it?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Approximately 14 volunteers worked on the Rooftop Garden installation, approximately 20 are working in our other gardens and maintain Rooftop Garden.\u00a0 Primary responsibility for garden care falls upon our Garden Keepers who are homeless and formerly homeless Guests of our Divine Intervention Ministry.\u00a0 Already we have approximately 100 lbs. of organic produce given away.\u00a0 We have developed relationships with 4 funders, 2 restaurants interested in produce grown locally, and 1 local greenhouse that will help us look forward to next enhancements.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/div>\n

Anything surprising happen?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

More volunteers than anticipated and a deepening relationship with our neighborhood! One of the unexpected challenges came in relying on one of our partners to coordinate different aspects of the installation of Rooftop Garden.\u00a0 As we move to next aspects of our gardens, we will be proactive in taking on this role ourselves.<\/p>\n

Do you have any recommendations for others that may want to try something similar?
\n<\/em><\/strong>Partnerships are key not only in accomplishing but maintaining the gardens.\u00a0 Continually inviting new people to become involved is important to maintain support as key volunteers may need to limit or change their volunteerism with project.\u00a0 Think forward!<\/p>\n

Has this project changed your church or community in any way?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes!\u00a0 It has allowed us to see what is possible as we stay faithful to our vision and think and partner creatively.\u00a0 And, quite unexpectedly, new attention from the greater community is coming toward Tippecanoe in support and visitors to worship.<\/p>\n
