A Summer Makeover

June 14, 2020

The monastery garden has been improved with a new fence and gates.  Some of the gates were hand crafted, adding a distinctive flair and artistic touch to our already luxuriant garden.  

Enter through “the narrow gate.” (Matt 14:7).   An arbor of wisteria greets you.

   

Taking a look around.


   

Check out the greenhouse.

   

Visit the wide gate for big loads and a side gate for easy access to the back shed.  

   

Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.” (Psalm 24:9)

Happy Gardening!
