Rewild Garden at Zion Episcopal Church
Zion garden team
Located at the Zion Episcopal Church, Douglaston, NY
Zion Episcopal Church in Douglaston has stood proudly on a hill in northeastern Queens for 193 years. We believe that the Earth is a gift that God has entrusted us to care for and love, and that our well-being is inextricably linked to the health of this planet.
When we installed a new roof last summer, it created the opportunity to re landscape the flower bed outside the church. Zion received a grant from ReWild Long Island's Gardens Program this spring and in June we planted a garden full of native and pollinator-friendly plants. It is our hope that the bees who live in the hives kept on our property will appreciate our garden!
Our historic churchyard is open to all. We have a playground, a labyrinth, bee hives, a cemetery, and now a native garden! We invite our neighbors to learn along with us as we discover new ways to love and care for God's creation
