We would like to acknowledge, thank, and honor the people who were the good stewards of the land in West Chester, Ohio before the European colonization.
Those people include the Adena and Hopewell whose cultures are ancient and predate American settlement. They include the Kaskaskia, a tribe that is no longer in existence due to forced removal. And they include the Wazhazhe, the Shawnee, and the Myaamia (mi ah' mia) who continue to share their gifts with us on this land to this day. Those gifts, among others, include the knowledge of sustainable agriculture and horticulture that contribute to what we are trying to accomplish here today. Seed Library![]() CtK is the newest location of a wildflower seed library from Three Valley Conservation Trust. It is located next to our Little Free Library in the parking lot near the church entrance, and works in a similar manner. Anyone is welcome to take seeds home to plant. According to Three Valley, “With native wildflower seeds provided at our seed libraries, we’re sowing the seeds for a more biodiverse and resilient environment. The initiative is not merely about planting flowers; it’s a commitment to bolster habitats for pollinators, fortify the local ecosystem, and empower our community to engage in conservation firsthand.” They chose to put this resource here because of our commitment to creation care. We are blessed to be a partner in this mission. If you are thinking of planting wildflowers in your yard, check it out! For more information, contact Susan.
