a small and courageous ask

Chad pointed it out this week, nearly every tree planted around the labyrinth comes in threes. Three Japanese lilacs. Three dogwoods. Three tulip trees.

And just like that, another God wink. Another quiet confirmation that this is the land He had for us all along.

The legacy of our three will live on here too, rooted and rising in this place of rest, healing, and homecoming.

We’re almost ready to submit our application to the county to get on the September town hall meeting agenda. A big, brave next step toward officially making Monarch Meadows Retreat what we know it’s meant to be.

One more thing: the land will include a wildflower meadow and native gardens, to help restore the ecosystem and, we hope, partner with local schools for pollinator education.

So, I have a small and courageous ask.

If you’ve ever received wildflower seeds from me in the past, and you’ve saved seeds from what bloomed, would you consider sending some back to us?

We’d love to scatter them here, at Monarch Meadows Retreat. To let what grew in your care take root again in this sacred soil. A garden built by community, beauty, and deep belonging.
