We’re planting a garden for Mary . . . but why?
A Garden for Mary is a lyrical children’s story that gets to the root of devotion to Jesus’s mother through sacred prayer and scripture. With classic watercolors of vibrant blooms, buzzing bees, and curious chipmunks, families seeking an introduction to the rich catholic tradition of Marian Gardens will find a treasured resource to enjoy and pass down from generation to generation.
Complete with an illustrated appendix of flowers associated with Our Lady, A Garden for Mary will inspire readers to grow bouquets for heaven and deepen their love for our heavenly mother.

Perfect Gift
My granddaughter crowned Mary and I gave her this book the next week with pictures of Mary and the family and the crowning! Her Mom proudly displayed it at the family gathering after her subsequent Holy Communion celebration and it was loved by all!

A Garden for Mary
This book touches the heart as we read and see a mother explain to her children that they are going to plant a garden to honor Mary. and why we honor her as the Mother of Jesus. The watercolor illustrations are absolutely beautifulan artistic treasure. And as a gardener I loved the drawings of the flowers in the back with names and the way each flower represents Mary. This is a perfect gift for any mother or grandmother¶¶ or for children. I have already given several as gifts and people love the book. Hope Neena Gaynor and Bernadette Gockowski will be able to work together on other childrens books. Thank you for this one!!! Aleanne Kennelly
