What is patron saint of gardens?

The patron saint of gardens is Saint Fiacre. He was an Irish monk who lived in the 7th century and is believed to have established a monastery in County Kilkenny, Ireland. According to legend, Saint Fiacre was known for his love of gardening and tending to the land. He is said to have healed people through the use of medicinal plants and herbs from his garden.

Saint Fiacre is also recognized as the patron saint of cab drivers and hemorrhoid sufferers, as well as those who suffer from other afflictions of the body. In France, he is traditionally invoked as a patron of gardeners and those who work the land. Catholics celebrate his feast day on September 1st, which is also known as the "Day of the Garden." People often visit his shrines and gardens on this day to receive blessings and offer prayers for bountiful harvests.
