One Earth Community Garden

01/2024

“We Maryknoll Sisters envision One Earth Community where the co-creative energy of Divine Love flows freely, nurturing wholeness of being in an expanding and evolving Universe.”

The One Earth Community Garden is a collaboration between the Maryknoll Sisters and Grow Monrovia in which we carry out the Maryknoll Sisters' vision of a One Earth Community. The One Earth Community is one in which every being is an essential worker in re-creating our world. Every worker is as important as the next, from the the birds, butterflies, and bees to the worms, insects, fungi and other unseen workers who help to nourish the earth for future generations.

Built with sustainability in mind 

• Habitat-building eco garden beds

• Use of tools like ollas, mulch and rain barrels to optimize water usage 

• No use of plastics or weed cloth. Instead we use cardboard and mulch as tools for suppressing weeds and grasses 

• Established to be a resource center for the surrounding community
