The Garden Ministry is a ministry that continues to produce in abundance. This ministry provides multiple benefits to the parish; from the flowers that beautify the grounds, the gardens which provide fresh vegetables for the Helping Hands food pantry and for the parish community, monies for the general fund and perhaps most importantly the wonderful feeling of community that is so apparent within this diverse group of welcoming individuals.

Beginning in the depths of winter, these volunteers meet on Saturday mornings to plan, prepare and plant the tiny seeds of hope that promise to become the flowers and vegetables of spring and summer.  Just as the tiny seeds sprout and grow so does the community of St. Bede grow and thrive.   If weeding and digging in the dirt is not for you, there are many other duties to help the gardens grow and thrive.   We grow  more than flowers and vegetables.  We grow friendship and community.    Perhaps we will see you in the garden.
