Brainerd library offers class on ‘Biblically Inspired Garden’

“The Biblically Inspired Garden” will be presented by Master Gardener Jennifer Knutson at noon Dec. 8 via Zoom.

In this class, Knutson will discuss creating an area in a garden for prayer, mediation, or as a memorial to a loved one or beloved pet as a way to provide a peaceful place for contemplation and reflection. Elements of a prayer or meditation garden will be presented for a biblically inspired garden, including plants with heavenly names.
