Welcome to the Community Garden at the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden!
Our community garden, located on the grounds behind our Motherhouse is a place to cultivate plants and community – a sacred space where we sow the seeds of compassion and care for every neighbor, human and non-human alike.
Whether you have a green thumb or are new to gardening, we welcome your enthusiasm to contribute to this communal space of growth, learning, and sharing.
Applications for the 2024 growing season have closed, but we welcome you to come visit the gardens and grounds anytime!
A Living Testament to Caring for Our “Dear Neighbor”
The community garden at Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden embodies a living testament to the mission of caring for the “dear neighbor” through sustainable practices and communal sharing.
At its heart, this garden serves as a vibrant space where volunteers, neighbors, and Sisters come together to nurture the land, fostering an environment that celebrates the interconnectedness of all creation.
By embracing the principles of Integral Ecology, the garden not only encourages eco-friendly gardening techniques but also promotes a spirit of generosity, as a portion of the harvest is donated to local food programs and pantries, directly supporting the most vulnerable members of our community.
This oasis is more than just a place to grow food; it is a sanctuary where individuals can connect, learn, and find solace in the act of communal care.
It demonstrates the profound impact of collective action in addressing environmental sustainability and food insecurity.
Through this initiative, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden invite everyone to partake in this meaningful journey of stewardship and service, reinforcing the belief that together, we can make a difference in the world around us.
