Psalm 23 Garden

In 2021, Bible Society sponsored a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, based on Psalm 23, 'The Lord is my shepherd'. It won lots of awards. Now it's your turn. Using our handy resources, you can create a community garden on the theme of Psalm 23 which will become a haven for people and wildlife, and bring people together, enabling them to experience the psalm. All you need is enthusiasm, a bit of time and our free resources.

The garden brought Psalm 23 – 'The Lord is my shepherd' – to life.

How you can get involved

After the pandemic, we can now come back together and create a community garden on the theme of Psalm 23. You’ll be creating a beautiful place for everyone (and wildlife) and have the chance to reflect on the psalm. You can do this anywhere. You don’t even need a garden, though it helps.
