St. Michael's Good News Gardens
The gardens on the church property help sustain our local ecosystem. The plants that grow here are native to eastern North America and provide habitat for pollinating insects, caterpillars, birds and other wildlife.
Our gardens are also beautiful. They change throughout the season following the cycle of nature. In spring they awaken from dormancy, they make leaves, they grow, and they develop flower buds which burst into bloom for our delight and the insects’ nourishment. Then they make seeds to assure their continuing life.
Seven garden areas on our grounds invite visitors to observe nature observation or simply to rest. Each is marked by a small sign that names it. Each sign has a QR code that leads to a meditation.
