Three values shape everything we make and every gathering we host. If something doesn’t line up with them, we don’t do it.
Creativity
A God-given gift we steward. We design thoughtful objects and experiences that make room for what matters.
Cultivation
To tend and keep the garden. Where nature and culture meet, we invite you to notice creation and adore the Creator.
GENESIS 2:15
Hospitality
You are welcome. You belong. A third place between home and church, where you can taste and see that the Lord is good.
PSALM 34:8
Come with your questions. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.

HOW IT STARTED
A seed was planted in 2024.
Every garden begins with a seed. The Garden Project started small: a ministry with a simple hope to help people slow down, encounter God, and learn from Jesus.
Bible study curricula, including Planted.
Small groups studying Scripture together
Dinners hosted around a shared table
But a seed dreams of a garden. Small practices, faithfully tended, grow into something larger: an ecosystem where a business plants gardens and a ministry grows people.

From creation to new creation.

Planted. A Bible study journey.
Planted. follows the biblical story from creation to new creation, centered on Jesus. It is written for people exploring faith and for those newer to following Jesus, with room for teaching, honest questions, prayer, and practice.
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solitary journey. A CoJourner is not an expert with all the answers, and not merely a teacher or facilitator. A CoJourner is a companion who walks beside others as they learn to follow Jesus.
In The Garden Project, leadership is understood as accompaniment. We journey together because Christ first journeyed with us.
VerdaForge is the business side of The Garden Project: a small botanical product studio that designs and 3D-prints useful objects for plants and the spaces around them, made to help life grow.
Each piece starts with a practical problem from caring for living things, takes a thoughtful form, and keeps getting better. The first pieces are still in the workshop. They will be available at verdaforge.com once they are ready; the newsletter will say when.
