SUMMARY:Gardeners: Powerful Agents of Change
DESCRIPTION:This gathering is part of the Greening Houses of Worship series—created to empower Newton’s faith communities with practical\, inspiring ways to reduce environmental impact and live more sustainably. \nJoin neighbors\, friends\, and fellow seekers as we explore one of the most humble—yet revolutionary—ways to live that calling: gardening. When you plant a seed\, you’re not just growing food or flowers\, you’re nurturing resilience\, combating ecological collapse\, and cultivating hope. Gardening is a quiet but powerful act of climate heroism. \nOur keynote speaker\, Reverend Maya Balle\, brings wisdom and warmth from her work as an Interfaith Minister\, spiritual teacher\, and coach\, and a long-time gardener. With challenges of health\, political upheaval\, and the threatening of our pollinators she believes\nour gardens become sanctuaries of healing and community action. Her message will inspire you to see gardening—and your own role in the world—in a new light. \nRev. Balle will be joined by a panel of native plant gardeners and a tender of bees and trees. This is a chance to connect\, be inspired\, and discover how your hands can help heal the planet. We hope you’ll join us. Together\, we can grow something beautiful.
