Preserving Tradition - - - Embracing Change
June.... is all garden!
Open Gardens
Our garden hosts will be happy to welcome you into their gardens, where for the past six months they would of panicked, uprooted and replanted, over trimmed, prayed it grows back, jet washed the patio, repositioned the gnomes, hoovered the astro turf, dead headed, seeded, weeded, poop scooped, raked the gravel, cleaned the pigeon poop, refilled the bird feeder, chucked all the clutter behind the garage, cashed in all the reward points at Monkton Elms garden centre, spent every weekend at Monkton Elm Garden Center buying plants, shrubs, bulbs and talking to their plants with all manner of encouragement, whether threatening with weed killer or cuddling their camilia.
Show your support for their dedication.
Tickets available on the day at the church.
Coffee & more
Hot from dead heading his Herbaceous borders is guest speaker Andrew Pitman from our neighbour Monkton Elm Garden Centre. At one of their most busiest times of year, Andrew is taking time out to come along and give us an insight into all things garden and garden centre.
Plant Sale
Plant Sale
It's our annual plant sale! Home grown and lovingly nurtured plants for your garden and maybe a few for indoors.
A variety of shrubs, flowers, vegetables for you to select from.
There will also be a rehoming section where you can give a plant a home. We have rescued neglected plants from their abandoned environments to give them a chance to grow and flourish from the neglect they have experienced.
We have just achieved the Eco Church Bronze Award in recognition of our efforts to care for God's earth in the following areas.
Worship & Teaching
Buildings & Energy
Land & Nature
Community & Global Engagement
Lifestyle
The big and small changes we have made has helped in our understanding of the impacts we make on our beautiful earth both good and bad.
Once our re-ordering is rubber stamped, constructed and in use we will be able to progress with achieving a silver award given the possibilities the new layout will enable us to do.
Congratulations and a huge thank you to Steve, Tricia, Margaret and Jamie in working together to bring in this to fruition. If you would like to help progress with the next step please let us know.
