Season of Creation 2025

Week Two Spotlight - Seasonal Resources for the Fall

by the Rev. Ryan Boettcher

On my sabbatical, I leaned into learning about seasons in Texas the hard way. For example, I had the vision to create a garden in my yard during my time away, but quickly learned that the summer isn’t the greatest time to begin a garden. There was something important for me to learn about learning to live into the rhythms of our good Earth—both for my spiritual life and for my participation in the stewardship of creation.

Austin has some great resources for helping us lean into these seasonal rhythms! Whether you are looking to plant a fall garden or just learn what are the best produce options right now, the following will help you along the way!
