Gardens and Horticulture
Fostering a holistic lifestyle in a sustainable environment.
At Trinity Village Horticulture, we are committed to bringing more than thirty gardens to life and garden life to our residents, visitors, and staff through various programs and self-directed activities. Read on to see what there is to enjoy through Horticulture at Trinity Village.
Community Gardens
The Trinity Village Community Garden is a pleasant place to visit and spend time with family and friends safely. Not only is there space for every budding gardener to get their fingers in the soil, but there's also plenty of seating from which to enjoy the work of others through the passage of the seasons in the garden. Our goal in the Community Garden is to promote sustainable, organic horticulture. Here at Trinity Village, we are pleased to offer at a minimal fee, the opportunity to rent one of our 13 in-ground plots, 9 raised beds or 5 grow towers from May to the end of October each year. Applications for the current season open March 15th and close May 15th.
I love all the gardens and appreciate all the work, and the flower cart.

Summer Bouquet Subscription
Did you know that Trinity Village Horticulture offers a flower bouquet subscription? You can order one or more bouquets from our gardens and have them delivered to someone within our community. Each bouquet is $15. You can order up to 5 bouquets and have them delivered weekly or bi-weekly. You can order 3 bouquets and have them sent to three different people all at once. Whatever is your fancy, from July 15th-September 15th our flower subscription service is available to you.
If you can’t come to visit- you can send along some locally grown flowers that give expression to your thoughts and affection.
For the bird lover, should you happen to live on the first floor, we provide guidance and support for feeding birds out your window.
Trinity Village Horticulture supports and manages a small apiary on the property. As we work with the bees, we find opportunities to share what we have learned with our community through opening the hives, harvesting and extracting honey, and sharing the honey with our community through the Beeden Honey Sale in November. A small team of interested residents, staff, and visitors are on a journey to learn more about bees and bring that learning to the broader community through the bee kiosk and other bee-related programs. If bees are your interest, keep it up by joining the Beeden Honey Team.
The Horticulture Manager welcomes conversation with you about the gardens, the birds, and our bees at Trinity Village. To get in touch, contact us.
