Spring is at last upon us, and our parish is inviting those who have an interest in gardening to join our Gardening Ministry. No experience is necessary for the young or the young at heart; all you need is a willingness to get out in the fresh air and help make our church as
beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. There is nothing quite like flowers to make any property look like it’s loved and cared for.

Since our opening, we have always enjoyed beautiful flower beds on our church grounds. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Stella Fogarty, who tended to the plants and gardens at Saint Benedict for many years. As a parish, we are blessed with so many who step up and help make Saint Benedict a community of service.

There are several flower beds on our property, and we are hoping to gather a small team of people who would spend some time planting and maintaining the gardens. 

Also, if anyone would like to donate a plant or two from their own garden, we would be grateful for any perennials that are weed-free and tagged with the name of the plant on it, the colour, and the bloom time. 

If you are interested in this ministry, or if you would like more information, please contact Earl at [email protected].
