Who We Are

A Bowl Full of Cherries is a non-profit dedicated to planting fruit-bearing trees to feed neighbors in Need, creating sustainable sources of fresh food in Vermilion, Ohio and beyond.

Our Mission

Our mission is to plant fruit-bearing trees to feed neighbors in need and to grace communities with flowering cherry and willow trees.

Our Vision

We envision a world where food grows freely and neighbors share abundantly.  A future where generosity takes root: one tree, one community, one bowl at a time.

Rose Moore

Rose Moore is a Catholic missionary with a deep love for people, nature, and the simple joy of hospitality.

Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Rose created A Bowl Full of Cherries while writing her third book in the Summer of 2020. Poems began forming about acres of cherry trees and fun with friends! With the Lord guiding her pen, He was the inspiration of her vision.

After years of prayer for where to launch, Rose has been blessed with land in Vermilion, Ohio. And so it is she begins…to dig, to plant, to grow, to create!

For Rose, this is more than planting trees.


It’s planting nourishment and fellowship.


It’s planting generosity and hope.


It’s planting legacy and love.

“I am the vine;

you are the branches. If you remain in me and i in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do Nothing.”

john 15:5

“I have watched Rose bring visions to life and bring life to a space for years. She is planting so much more than trees with her mission, she is bringing people together to connect with faith, hope and beauty for generations to come.”

-Mary Gallagher

“Rose is the kind of person whose energy is contagious, her creativity is inspiring, and her heart is unforgettable.”

-Sarah Martin

“Rose is kind and generous and has a remarkable gift for making people feel seen, valued and deeply cherished. Her dedication to making a positive impact on the world is unwavering. Her passion for planting is a natural extension of that same generous spirit- a reflection of the beauty, compassion, and purpose she brings to everything she does.”
