What is the Friendship Garden?

Bringing three programs together (Friendship Circle, LifeTown, and Gan Menachem Preschool), the Friendship Garden will allow participants to produce healthy food for the Center, learn valuable gardening skills, environmental responsibility, and enjoy the variety of our natural world. Produce from the garden will be sold at the New Albany Farmer's Market to raise funds for Chabad programming, and will also be donated to soup kitchens and other organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry of Columbus.
 
To find out how you can help make the Friendship Garden a reality, contact Gan Menachem Preschool Director, Zohar Asbel, by email at lsccpreschool@gmail.com or by phone at (614) 289-8557. A detailed list of plants for sale and prices is available here, or pick one up in the lobby.

Don't garden? Donations of any size are welcome! For $250 a raised garden bed can be
dedicated to you or in memory of a loved one.
