Planting with Prayer: The Catholic Gardening Handbook

Have you ever wandered outside and wished you could find a place to just sit and pray, a garden space to find solace in the busyness of today's world? Do you desire to create an outdoor green space that will help meet your spiritual needs?

Planting with Prayer: The Catholic Gardening Handbook shows you how to develop a contemplative outdoor space that moves you in this season of your life and spiritual growth. Whether you are a new gardener or a sage veteran, Advanced Master Gardener Margaret Rose Realy will guide you in a step-by-step approach to create and maintain a meaningful sacred space -- a place close at hand that you can easily step into and that brings you, in all your individuality, to inner quietness.

This handy, all-encompassing gardener's resource includes traditional garden journal worksheets and prayer journaling pages. It has everything you need to design and maintain a prayer garden, and you can refer to Realy's A Garden Catechism (OSV, 2022) for a deeper dive into specific plants and their Christian symbolism.
