An overview of the outdoor spaces at good-shepherd-galax.

• food-forest-garden: Located by the lower driveway, this partnership with The Permaculture Garden of Grayson Landcare demonstrates sustainable agriculture and distributes food to the community. See also page-1000149.
• Labyrinth & Columbarium: A grass labyrinth sits near the lower entrance for prayer and meditation. Above it, the columbarium holds niches for cremains, with optional church-approved digital QR Discs to share stories.
• Upper Grounds: The main entrance walkway features a compass design marking a 2005 time capsule. The property between the retaining wall and upper fence is used by local farmers to harvest hay.
• Playground & Flowering Cross: A fenced playground is situated to the left of the church. Nearby stands the cross used for the Easter resurrection flowering tradition.

Visitors are welcome to tour the grounds at any time.
