Pinewoods Community Garden
Pinewoods Chapel has made garden plots available to residents of Angus and the surrounding area for use in growing their own vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers.
At Pinewoods, we want to share the love of Jesus by sharing what we have.
Our garden has been cultivated and harvested for the past few years by a private individual. Starting this year, it's now available to residents of Angus & Area for growing.
Pinewoods Chapel is located at 9058-5th Line, in Angus (corner of 5th Line & Cty Rd. 90).
The Community Garden is located on the east side of the building.
Garden plots must be selected by May 21, 2022 for the 2022 growing season.
