From the Sunny Garden Journal’s Author Hi. As a member of the mission group for Cedar Cross Retreat Center, I’m caring for the Sunny Garden, just behind the art studio. Cedar Cross is a 52-acre forested sanctuary for rest, reflection, and renewal located in central North Carolina. The Sunny Garden is one of a few areas where the canopy is open, allowing hours of sunshine daily. This blog is my journal as I work with the garden. Incidentally, this is all happening as the coronavirus pandemic has taken the globe. – Ginger Allen

[…] To give you more of a sense of what life is like at Cedar Cross, we are including a 30-second video in each edition of Journeys. In the last edition, we took a virtual walk along the Middle Trail. In this edition, you are invited to click the link below and listen to the sound of summer rain on the trees near the Lodge.
