The Garden at Mary’s House Community is a small piece of land set aside for contemplation and quiet. 

It is a place of meeting — with the earth, with one another, and with God.

Here, the work of the hands and the work of the heart come back together. Digging, clearing, planting, and tending become part of a deeper practice: learning to be present, to receive what is given, and to take our place within the life that is already unfolding around us.

The garden will be shaped slowly, through attention and care, through the seasons, and through the people who spend time here. We are trying to make a space that can be experienced, shared, and returned to.

There are places to grow food and flowers, and places simply to sit, to notice, and to be still.

All of it belongs.

 

Tending Days

At regular times, we open the garden for Tending Days.

These are simple, shared times of caring for the space — clearing, tidying, planting, and responding to what the garden needs in that season.

We work together for part of the time, share a simple lunch, and make space for quiet or contemplation.

You do not need any experience. You are welcome to come as you are, and to join in as you’re able.

If you would like to join a Tending Day, please get in touch. email: info@maryshouse.org
