Wildflower planting in the churchyard
Thank you to Mike Schofield, who has planted nearly 2000 bulbs in a horseshoe shape around the edges of the churchyard to the west of the church (the lower churchyard). Hopefully, there will be a good display next year. There are plans for further planting in the future.
The wildflower planting is to encourage us to become a greener church. Wildflowers encourage bees and other insects that are vital for pollination of crops and other aspects of nature.
Mike has also done the work in memory of his his wife, Allison, who liked the woodland bulbs he has planted and who helped with the church music group for at least 20 years. Mike also hopes that we can turn the churchyard into an attractive and peaceful place which more people might visit.
