Connecting People and Gardens
The Catholic Garden Network is a welcoming organization connecting individuals and communities through diverse Catholic gardens. We promote sustainability, food justice, environmental stewardship, and spiritual well-being. Rooted in our belief in the dignity of all people and the transformative power of gardens, we celebrate gardens that nourish communities, support biodiversity, create spaces for prayer and reflection, and enrich lives.
Through our growing garden directory, we connect individuals and communities, inviting everyone to share their experiences and knowledge. Our interactive community forum further fosters meaningful dialogue and resource-sharing. Additionally, we offer practical materials, engaging webinars, and other resources to support and enrich gardens, cultivating collaboration, community, and hope.
