CGN Community Forum

The Catholic Garden Network (CGN) Community Forum is a welcoming online community for people who are part of gardens in Catholic parishes, schools, ministries, religious communities, Catholic Charities agencies, and other Catholic settings - as well as individual gardeners and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and gardening.

Whether you're starting a garden, leading an established ministry, or simply exploring what's possible, the Forum is a place to connect, ask questions, share ideas, celebrate successes, and learn from others across the country.

Conversations include practical topics such as pollinator-friendly and native plants, growing food for neighbors, volunteer engagement, fundraising, garden planning, educational programs, sustainable practices, and seasonal gardening, alongside discussions about spirituality, evangelization, community building, and the many ways gardens can serve the Church.

Together, we're cultivating a growing network of people who believe gardens can nourish both body and spirit.
