This past Saturday was a Temple "Garden Opening Ceremony" to begin the garden growing season. The ceremony included walking in procession around the garden chanting the "Marvelously Beneficial Disaster Preventing Dharani", ceremonially planting the first seeds, and chanting our "Garden Chant". We also read a Thich Nhat Hanh quote about being aware of what kinds of thoughts we "water" within ourselves - whether wholesome or unwholesome. |

We worked pulling out last year's plants, tilling the soil and shaping the garden beds.

Wow! The Leafye Garden is transformed and ready for this year's season!
Thank you to the many who helped! (just in time before another snow)
