This week members of the Garden of Eden Club planted a native plant garden off Serra Court to honor St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the Church’s first indigenous saint. The garden features California natives such as California lilac (ceanothus), Manzanita and of course the California Golden Poppy. The garden will also provide food and habitat for local wildlife such as the migratory Gold Finch and the Western Fence Lizard that make their home at St. Francis. The funding for the garden was provided by a generous grant from the Sacramento Native Plant Society. 

Thank you to Leyla Logan Camara, Arabella Henry, Angelyn Gonzales, Isabelle Leon, Seyvene Kahwaji, and Sophia Harmon for their hard work!
