The Gardening team develops and maintains the gardens and flora surrounding St. Peter’s Church, including the Cloister Garden between the kitchen and the offices.
While the Property/Men’s Committee mows the grass, annually mulches and trims the hedges and selected bushes, the Gardening team is responsible for weeding, planting, transplanting, and designing new beds, including the Pollinator Garden along the north side of the parking lot in 2022.
The Gardening team is led by Leo Guen leotguen@gmail.com and currently has 6 members: Karen Reid, Robert Gauthier, Kelly Smythe, Anne Andrews, Judy Ripley, and Leo Guen.
They usually meet Saturday mornings, regularly during April, May, June, September and October, with occasional other work days offseason and in summer.
A major focus in 2023 is the re-design of the Cloister Garden, with transformation expected in 2024.
