ST. ANDREW'S COMMUNITY GARDEN

St. Andrews Community Garden was developed by members of St. Andrews Church in 2019 with this mission statement: Stewarding a greenspace to provide a place for the community of St. Andrew’s and the greater Seguin area to grow together in community, fellowship, and faith.
In a few short years this once vacant lot has been transformed into a lovely garden abundant in flora and fauna with wandering paths, picnic tables and several seating areas where not only the church can gather in and pray and wander and sit amongst God’s creation, but also, is a wonderful space for the community to enjoy. It’s a beautiful space for all of the community to cherish; not just the holy grounds of St. Andrews, but the holiness of the wider community.

 

All are welcome in our community garden. 

Decorated much like the trees on town square and with some spotlights up in the trees, the paths are well lit— even at night. This is a safe place for all people to come and to gather.  We purposely put a sign out in front of our garden that this is St. Andrews Community Garden. It isn’t St. Andrews Church Garden. It is a place that is intended to be constantly open and hopefully, in that openness, it is a reflection of who we want to be. Going forward…as a group of people open with our hearts and our doors, outwardly facing the community, welcoming all people, and we just ask that people help us in cherishing this wonderful space. 

 The Guadalupe County Master Gardeners sponsor and manage the garden, which has provided extra volunteers and guidance but as with any garden, there’s always room for growth; and volunteers to help with maintenance are in high demand. If you are interested in volunteering, work days (for maintenance and beautification) are every Wednesday starting at 9am and goes until finished.

Any special events planned for the future will be posted on the St. Andrew’s Community Garden Facebook page. So, check often for updates and visit the garden!
If you would like to reserve the garden for an event, fill out the Reservation Request form under the contact menu.
