“We give thanks for this earth beneath our feet, for the seeds now resting in her embrace, and for the waters that will nourish them. May the winds carry our gratitude, the sun warm each leaf, and the moon watch over this garden in peace. We honor the ancestors who tended the land before us, and we promise to care for it with gentle hands and open hearts. May this garden feed body, spirit, and community, and may its beauty remind us always of our connection to all living things.”
