St. Richard's Church, Round Rock—Contact Walt Krueger 
The St Richard’s garden project is tuning into not just a major undertaking but a magnificent obsession. This is not a small bed or two at the entrance of the church but eventually a several acre project including various garden areas to suit every taste. When finished (is a garden ever finished?) it will be a very special place for the congregation to gather and wonder on the beauties of nature.
