In 2021, Bible Society sponsored a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, based on Psalm 23, 'The Lord is my shepherd'. It won lots of awards. Now, using our handy resources, you can create a community garden on the theme of Psalm 23 which will become a haven for people and wildlife, and bring people together, enabling them to experience the psalm. All you need is enthusiasm, a bit of time and our free resources.
The garden brought Psalm 23 – 'The Lord is my shepherd' – to life.
Actor Sally Phillips opened the garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. See how people responded to the garden.
