See all- Zen & GardeningCrane’s Path Farm in Chelsea, Chelsea, MI
Ever wondered what it looks like to care for a garden while bowing in and chanting with Zen practitioners? Our Zen and gardening traditions go back to California, Japan and China, and Crane’s Path Farm
in Chelsea is run by a long time Zen practitioner, Dmitry Berenson. Our sangha will attend our Sunday programs at the Center in the morning then take a trip to help out with weeding and basic caretaking of the growing plants and enjoy some fresh air and good company. Refreshments will be offered. Everyone is welcome. Please wear gardening-friendly clothing, and if you have a couple tools, bring some.
