Abundant Life Garden Project

Abundant Life Garden Project®

Abundant Life Garden Project is an interactive, Scripture-based children’s program offered to parishes, teachers, families and others who seek to share the ministry and work of Episcopal Relief & Development with elementary school-aged students.

This flexible, low-cost program invites children to participate in our mission by exploring five thematic lessons on Water, Seeds, Soil, Animals and Harvest. Appendices to the lessons offer additional options and tips to assist you in creating a program that best fits your needs.

In learning to be thankful for the bounty that God has provided in Creation, children and their families are encouraged to share with one another. By raising funds to purchase gifts included in the Gifts for Life catalog, parishes, teachers, groups and families can take action and share our abundance with those in need around the world.

Please share your experience with the program! In order that we might better serve you, we would like for you to complete and return the brief survey included at the end of each module. Thank you!
