Hello
If you are wondering who we are, please read below to learn more.
Who: Grace & Garden
What: A digital chronicle of my (Jennifer) journey as I seek to follow God’s leading and step out into my community via a garden…at least I hope there will be a garden at some point. One with actual food and flowers growing. Ultimately, my desire is to create community gardens that both foster meaningful friendships and provide a means to share with those less fortunate.
When: Starting in 2026
Where: Coming to a community near you…hopefully 🙂

37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 27:37-39
Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.
Proverbs 14:4
Mission
To grow community, one garden at a time, by creating in-person connections between seasoned farmers and gardeners and budding gardeners, or even just some budding gardeners who want a little help from their friends.’ It is my prayer to create a template for communities across the country to replicate.
Values
This site embodies the command from God’s Word to “love my neighbor” and the intrinsic value of stewarding well the creation that God has entrusted to us.
Vision
-
For strangers to become neighbors, and neighbors to become family. One community at a time, one garden at a time.
