The Garden Around My Church!

12 days ago (Edited)

My church, St. Ambrose Catholic Parish, Omoba Road is built on a hill. Surrounding it, is a vibrant landscape that reflects care and life. From the left wing, the right wing to the front and back of the compound, the environment is alive with lush green vegetation.

The garden has a mix of fruit trees, flowering plants, shrubs, and well-maintained carpet grass. The space isn’t just neat — it’s thriving, with birds often seen perched on the trees and around the grass, butterflies and other insects flitting between the flowers, adding to the natural beauty.

There's the Orange jasmine flowers, which surrounds the church in a beautiful layout.

At the right wing, the showy, cluster-forming Oleander (Nerium oleander) is visible, it's pinky bloom adding color to the environment.

There's also the Plumeria pudica, commonly known as the White Frangipani.

The Ixora finlaysoniana.

And then the Canna indica, commonly known as the Indian shot or African arrowroot.

This green space creates a peaceful atmosphere for worshippers and stands as a testament to what a community can maintain when it values its environment.

I love being around here because it offers me the opportunity to connect with nature.

I hope you like my church garden.
