A Mary garden is a small plot of cultivated land enclosing a statute of Mary, who is known to many Christians as the Blessed Virgin, Mother Mary or the Mother of God. In Christian tradition, Mary is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Christ. Mary gardens are most common to those Christian denominations which hold Mary in special esteem, particularly Roman Catholics and Anglicans. The practice originated among monasteries and convents in medieval Europe. The first such garden open to the public in the United States was founded in 1932 at St. Joseph's Church, Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Mass...
A Mary garden is a small plot of cultivated land enclosing a statute of Mary, who is known to many Christians as the Blessed Virgin, Mother Mary or the Mother of God. In Christian tradition, Mary is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Christ. Mary gardens are most common to those Christian denominations which hold Mary in special esteem, particularly Roman Catholics and Anglicans. The practice originated among monasteries and convents in medieval Europe. The first such garden open to the public in the United States was founded in 1932 at St. Joseph's Church, Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The statute of Mary, and sometimes of the baby Jesus, is central to the garden. Select flowers, shrubs, and trees associated with the legends around Mary are planted in the garden. Such plants may include laurel trees, strawberries, ladyslippers, lilies of the valley, peonies, violets, irises and roses. All of which are identified as symbolic and significant in the story of Mary as recounted in the Bible or in Christian legend.
