Success in the Heat!Parish Gardens Spring Clean-up Day Thank You
Last Saturday (May 21st) the St. Aedan’s Garden Ministry held our parish gardens clean-up day. Despite the heat, 13 adults and 5 PREP students volunteered and did a wonderful job cleaning and freshening up the gardens, planting summer flowers, weeding and cleaning common areas around the Church.
Thank you to Beckerle Lumber for their donation of 20 bags of mulch for our front garden.
Many thanks to and much appreciation for our adult participants Larry, Erin, Kieran, Maureen, John, Al, Mary Anne, Nuala, Jane, Kathi, Catherine, Deb and Chris, and our PREP students Max, Chloe, Daniel, Jackie, and Geoffrey. You helped make St. Aedan’s even more beautiful and welcoming to everyone!“There are many different gifts, but the same Spirit” -

About Us
You can help the outside of our Church look as colorful and beautiful as the inside, and have some gardening fun, too!
The Garden Ministry is a service-based ministry whose mission is to make the outdoor areas of St. Aedan’s as attractive, colorful and interesting as possible by planting appropriate gardens for the enjoyment of all. To accomplish this, we will plant and maintain gardens which complement the landscaping efforts of our parish and will make the parish grounds beautiful.
Our ministry began in December, 2018. Members have planned gardens in strategic locations, and we are currently purchasing and planting appropriate annuals, perennials, and shrubs for these garden areas. To date, we have planted pink roses in Mother Mary’s Garden, flowers around the St. Aedan’s road signs and placed containers in front of the Church that will be filled with seasonal floral arrangements throughout the year. During the growing season we water, weed and perform other routine garden maintenance tasks. If requested, we can plan and carry out future garden endeavors. If you have a love of plants and a desire to garden, this ministry is for you.
Meetings are held on an as-needed basis.
