Native and Ocean Friendly Gardens
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Brevard and our many partner organizations are working with volunteers from the Space Coast Surfrider Chapter (https://spacecoast.surfrider.org/) to create Native and Ocean Friendly Gardens. We are working to remove invasive plant species; and slowly transform our property with Florida Natives and non invasive plants. We support local growers like Native Butterfly Flowers (https://nativebutterflyflowers.com/) who specialize in Native Florida landscaping.
We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.

Surfrider’s Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG) program offers beautiful nature-based solutions to restore imperiled native plant communities, protect clean water, and support resilient coasts and communities. OFGs help restore the natural functions of healthy watersheds by contouring landscapes for rainwater retention, directing water back into soil and plant roots instead of storm drains. Our chapter’s volunteer-run OFG program demonstrates beautiful, inexpensive ways to care for your yard to create a positive impact for the health of our local waterways and ocean.

Peace and Meditation Garden
On July 4th 2021, we installed a Peace Pole made by UU Kids in Wilmington, NC. in our Peace Meditation Garden.
What is a Peace Pole
Peace Poles carry the message of peace, May Peace Prevail On Earth, in the languages of the world. They are recognized as the most prominent international symbol and monument dedicated to peace on earth. Peace Poles have been planted on every continent in over 200,000 communities by friends and supporters working in unison to uplift the consciousness of humankind.
They serve as reminders to cultivate peace in thought, word, and action while symbolizing humanity’s shared desire for a world at peace and in harmony with all of creation.
