COVID-19 can’t stop the Mitzvah Garden at Temple Beth David in Cheshire. With appropriate social distancing procedures in place, the 2020 season of the Mitzvah Garden is in full swing. The need for donations to local food pantries during the pandemic has been high, especially for fresh produce. Therefore, volunteers felt that the need for the Mitzvah Garden was as important as ever.
Temple Beth David is 200-families strong, and takes tremendous pride in the Mitzvah Garden. It has been recognized by the Cheshire Town Beautification Committee and received the 2016 Beauty Spot of the Month Award (Cheshire Garden Club).
