VOLCHOK GARDEN AREA CLEARED
The family who had lived here before the friars took over, Mr/Mrs Volchok, owners of a business called BLESSED HERBS, had a large garden area across the front lawn where they grew Golden Seal and other herbs. Golden Seal required some protection from the sun and heat, so posts and cable and a screen was spread over one entire garden area.
For the past 15 plus years the area has gradually returned to a 'wilder' state with native grasses, cedars, scrub oaks, etc. taking over the area. Over the past month or so the friars have been diligently removing the posts and cable and some of the smaller trees and bushes that have taken over the area.
The second picture above shows the transformation that is taking place. It is a view that is quite visible from the chapel and to any of our guests walking on the premises. Our Stations of the Cross are erected behind this garden area. Come and check out the transformation yourself.
