The latest edition of Spiritus features two wonderful articles by Emily Chatten exploring why we garden. Be sure to read “Searching for Eden” on page 3 and “Giving Eden to Others” on page 4. As we give thanks for our dedicated garden team, whose care keeps the grounds of CCDP looking so beautiful, this is a fitting time to reflect on the deeper meaning and ministry of gardening.
