CtK Courtyard Garden Project
Henry David Thoreau once said, "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads," and Glenn and Michele Jensen have given us a piece of outdoor beauty to share with the courtyard garden.
The couple has been tending to the garden for the past four years. The first year they had no irrigation system available requiring daily watering trips. During the second year, thanks to monies from the Trust Fund, a drip system was installed.
This garden outreach started a few years ago when a request was made to the congregation to beautify the courtyard garden. Michele loves to work in the garden and seeing things grow and flourish, making this a perfect project for her talents and interests.
According to the couple they are in their third year of rebuilding the courtyard that can be viewed from the sanctuary and multiple windows that face the garden. They have found the project a great learning experience, learning which plants enjoy the sunshine and which can tolerate the extreme heat of the summer being enclosed by four walls. The biggest test of love and patience has been working with a Chameleon plant that they found is impervious to any known weed killer—it has been known to have withstood the Hiroshima bomb.
Some of the species of plants in the garden include hostas, astilbe, echinacea or coneflowers, rose bushes, tickseed, fountain grass, and wave petunias planted in the fountain.
If you have not seen the courtyard garden, the Jensen's invite you to visit this area by way of the door at the back of the sanctuary. They want it to be a place where people can sit and gather their thoughts, pray for guidance, or just get away
