The Common Ground Garden is a vibrant expression of our commitment to environmental stewardship and community. Featuring native plants, new structures, and an irrigation system designed to sustain local ecosystems, this garden supports the natural life of North Alabama. We invite all to join us in tending this sacred space, fostering growth, beauty, and biodiversity as we care for this corner of God’s creation together.

Originally planted and lovingly tended by the late parishioner D.D. Martin, this beautiful garden along Jackson Street continues to bring joy to all who pass by, a lasting testament to care and devotion.

The McKimmon Memorial Gardens serve as a sacred space of reflection, remembrance, and renewal. Within this space, the Memorial Garden provides a resting place for ashes, offering a peaceful sanctuary for prayer and contemplation. This garden is not only a place to honor loved ones but also a living witness to our belief in resurrection, the continuity of life, and the sacredness of creation.

Our Stewardship of Creation Committee leads efforts to care for our shared environment, guiding our parish in sustainable practices, education, and hands-on engagement with our church grounds and beyond. Whether through conservation efforts, gardening, or community initiatives, we seek to honor God’s creation by preserving and restoring the natural world.
