New Orleans Garden Society Policy Center
Heavenly Father, we your earthly gardeners, humbly beseech you to hear our prayer.
Let us learn to work the soil of this earth with love and compassion, as our souls will be filled iwth joy and devotion to the task at hand.
Give us the ability to sow the seeds of change, so we may help evolve this planet into a garden of your inspiration.
Allow us to plant the flowers of hope and passions in our fellow man so we may all strive to bring out the best of ourselves and others.
Bless our garden with nourishing rain so it may grow and blossom into positive thoughts and deeds.
As the seasons change and the years pass, grant us the ability to sort the seeds of time, to plant with frugality and wisdom, to spread our knowledge around our community, that we may all prosper, learn and grow in the light of your love.
These things we ask in your name. Amen.
