The Mosaic Healing Gardens

The Mosaic Healing Gardens are a living expression of prayer, presence, and partnership. What began as a small garden behind the Mosaic HUB has grown into a 0.7-acre space for restoration and renewal…where neighbors, youth, and volunteers cultivate both the soil and the soul. Through hands-on learning, mentoring, and community meals, the gardens offer a place where healing, beauty, and belonging take root.

As part of the wider Mosaic ecosystem, the Healing Gardens embody our mission to develop leaders, strengthen churches, and transform communities. In this shared space, creation care meets community care. Together we grow food, friendships, and faith, cultivating beauty and belonging in our community.

Some Mosaic Healing Gardens goals:

  1. Feed the Community
    The garden provides fresh, healthy produce for neighbors, offering nourishment for both body and soul.

  2. Foster Healing and Wholeness
    Working with the soil offers space for reflection, restoration, and renewal, helping individuals experience the healing power of God through creation.

  3. Grow Intergenerational Connection
    Children, elders, and everyone in between come together to plant, learn, and serve, strengthening the bonds that hold our community together.

  4. Cultivate Learning and Formation
    The garden is a living classroom where sustainability, stewardship, and spiritual formation take root in everyday life.
