Ebenezer Acre garden was donated by a church (Ebenezer Methodist Church) member in 2014. It is on a private property, 2249 Garrisonville Rd Stafford Va. 22556. The land belongs to Stan Zack and his wife Linda. Stan is one of the past presidents of MGACRA; Stan and Linda hosted our annual MGs’ picnic many years.We start the garden late March into October, every Saturday morning at 8am, and some times during the week. We provide produce to SERVE, a local food bank. We grow vegetables to berries. This year, we harvested nearly 7000 lbs. The volunteers are from our church, a few from SERVE. I am only the MG there; love to have more MG's for this project. It is funded mainly by our church. We do accept donations. For more information, contact Susan at [email protected]

The Salem Church Library garden was started by Leslie Duvall, librarian, to grow produce to donate to the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank. It is in the back of the library, starting with one raised bed in 2014 to almost 20 beds now. It is tended by librarians, library volunteers, and Master Gardeners. We work Fridays, 9 to 11 AM, preparing beds, planting, weeding, and harvesting. Each Friday when produce is ready to harvest, it is delivered to the food bank. We work March through November.
New in 2026 is a Children's Garden Program on the third Saturday of the month. Children and their caregiver come to help work in the garden, learn about growing food, and take a pot of seeds to grow at home.
Master Gardeners are needed for both programs. See the sign up above.
