Jane's Garden is a volunteer organization striving to beautify the grounds around church. We were established in 1990 by Jane Schreiber, a long time parishioner. Members choose a garden site to nurture and register their chosen site at the Rectory.
Gardens may be large or small and you do not have to an expert on plants and flowers. You only have to be willing to plant, water and weed. It generally takes 1 or 2 hours a week to maintain, a little time and lots of love.
We have some small gardens in planters at the entrances. As you look around you can see that some gardens are in memory of a loved one. Each garden has a sign telling who has adopted the garden. Gardens don't have to be adopted by an one individual or family, perhaps a group such as the Hispanic garden. Gardens are also good community service projects for Confirmation candidates or Girl or Boy Scout Troops. We have some lovely Eagle Scout projects here at St. Ignatius.
Perhaps you don't have the time to "adopt" one of our gardens, we always appreciate any donations of plants or garden supplies.
We have gardens available to adoption - you can leave your name and number at the Rectory or call us directly for more information. Ask for Judy or Gene at 516-433-837 and leave a message if we are not at home.
