Lawn Begone: Church In Falmouth Starts Permaculture Garden

This past Saturday, May 27, more than 60 volunteers came out to help plant a new permaculture garden at St. Barnabas's Episcopal Church on Main Street.

The 2,500-square-foot garden is located on the church property beside Siders Pond.

Meyer-Kaiser explained.
