The Rev. David W. Merzweiler, left, better known as Pastor Dave, stands on a gravel path in the expansive garden he has worked on behind the rectory at St. Catherine Church, 1254 Grandview Road, Lake Milton, where he lives. The green oasis of plants also features garden art, statues, four fountains, a pond, wind chimes and an enclosure with four peacocks.
