The Gardeners of the Temple
One ORDER, one FRATERNITY: Free Gardeners, we work together using the symbols that adorn the world of the garden and Nature in general.
4 seasons
4 elements
4 tools
4 virtues
The duty of the Free-Gardeners is to cultivate their Garden
They define what they want to undertake to progress on their personal development, with the support of the other gardeners and by sharing the experience they have gained on each path. They strive to respect, among other things :
loyalty
kindness
sharing
tenacity
Our goals
in the continuity of an initiatory process
Advancing in our personal development
Free Gardening gathers men and women progressing together within a shared garden. This pooling implies a strong spirit of solidarity, focused on respect for the individual.
Exploring the symbols of Nature
Free Gardening draws its inspiration from all the resources available to offer a new initiatory path centred on Man’s relationship with the elements in Nature.
Promoting an openness to the outside world
The labour of the Free Gardener allows him to reap fruits, one of which being the duty of mutual assistance. Within his ability, he must adopt a benevolent attitude towards society.
Those who dare, push!
Our motto.
It is based on the founding symbols, the earth and the seed;
on the plant symbol, the olive / olive tree ;
and on all the tools and symbols of the garden.
F-Mason & F-Gardener
Our approach is a parallel path, complementary to traditional initiatory Freemasonry. All members of the Garden must first have been initiated to the third degree in a regular mixed, female or male Masonic lodge.
