During summer, 2009, RRUUC's Children's Religious Education Ministry piloted a new curriculum focused on Unitarian Universalism’s seventh principle "Exploring the Web of Life", respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.  As part of this program, students spent many a Sunday morning outside exploring the grounds and learning about nature in its many different forms.

As an outgrowth of the program, the Garden Committee, the Religious Education Committee and the children in the 2009 Summer RE Program built a vegetable garden behind the Program Building.  Arugula was the first bumper crop!

The Garden Committee also began a compost bin located next to the garden.  All are invited to contibute regulary using the composting guidelines. Bring a gallon zip-lock bag with your composting goodies on Sunday before each service.  Show it to the Compost Constable and then empty it in the compost bin.  Wash the bag and use it again the next week.
