Psalm 23 Garden
Sarah Eberle’s Psalm 23 Garden is a garden for our time, a garden for a pandemic. The famous psalm speaks of God’s presence with us in all moments of life. Sarah’s garden, designed for Bible Society, takes us on a journey through the psalm to a restful destination. We hope it will resonate with you, and that you’ll be inspired to create your own Psalm 23 community garden.
Hazel’s blog: the last days of planting
It’s a typical September day, thick fog followed by hot sunshine. A breeze creates ripples on the pool of the Psalm 23 Garden. Around it, the planting is being summoned into being. It is hard to believe that this little place hasn’t been here forever. It exudes permanence, solidity, peace.
How you can get involved
After a long, isolated year, why not come back together by creating 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.
