Discover How Gardening Can Help Heal the Earth – Join Us Sept. 25 in Newton
Thursday, September 25, 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton
1326 Washington St. Newton, MA 02465
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.
No matter your tradition, you’ve likely felt the deep call to protect the earth and the life it sustains.
Join 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.
