The St. Francis Sustainable Garden Project supports the hungry, at-risk children and their families in our area. We use a garden plot in front of the St. Francis rectory where we grow and harvest herbs, vegetables and flowers. In past years each harvest has produced over 180 lbs. of produce- all delivered to the pantry at Foundations Preschool of Ann Arbor, - child care center for at-risk, low-income families.

The St. Francis Grounds & Botanical Gardens: Several gardens surround the St Francis of Assisi campus of buildings, including, but not limited to, the church, school, rectory and/or parish offices. These gardens need to be a beautiful expression of hospitality, in particular, the entrances, to our fellow parishioners and visitors as well as reflect a statement of our appreciation for God's creation and nature.

Photos here are thanks to St. Francis parishioner, Nadine Brown.    Date: Thu, Sep 13, 2018 .  Please enjoy the goldfinch photo and others here (mostly) backyard flowers, birds, and insects. Caring for the garden, taking the photos, making greeting cards with them, are all very satisfying hobbies, especially if they can be shared with others.
