Summary of Projects

Judea Garden received a grant in 2010 to create a gravity fed irrigation system consisting of irrigation tubing, valves, tanks and soaker hoses on a garden plot of approximately 0.25 acre. The garden is in a field with no electricity or local water supply and water used to be brought in or carried from a local stream.
