**A*@aol.com**

Thanks for starting me on this web search - there are some lovely things 
Presbyterians are doing with community gardens, Community Supported Agriculture 
and food security:

Here are a few Presbyterian community garden groups -

The Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago has a community garden- 
http://www.fourthchurch.org/garden.html

And a good friend of mine sits on the board of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian 
Church and is a crack community gardener. 

So community gardening and Presbyterians work out just fine - 

Best wishes,

Never was a Presbyterian.
