Volunteer garden in Murrells Inlet doubles size, feeds hundreds with produce

MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (WPDE) — Volunteers at the Burgess Community Garden in Murrells Inlet spend hours tending to a garden, helping grow food for those in need.

The garden has doubled in size since its inception, and it has harvested more than 1,300 pounds of food this year alone.

“Gardening is a great metaphor for life,” said Unity Spiritual Leader Margaret Hiller. “If you put in the care, nourish what’s needed, things grow abundantly. Just like our spirits lots of meditation happens in the garden. Lots of insight about how things can thrive when they’re given the opportunity.”
