Garden Description:
The garden is in the churchyard. It is on the left hand side of the main path into church. We now have seating areas in the Quiet garden which people have appreciated. Whether it's been time to just sit a while, reflect and find peace from a stressful world. The garden has been very well used during the lockdown periods for funerals, Bible study groups and people having a rest during their daily walks.
We regularly sing one hymn at the end of the service outdoors and the garden has provided a welcome space for this. We have expanded the garden and have created a new cremation plot alongside the garden.
Future plans are to include an insect hotel to encourage bees, insects and butterflies. We have many bird feeders in the garden and have many differing species visiting. The garden continues to be well used and is a very valued part of the community.
The garden It is open all year round.

We now have a lovely bench in the garden. We will shortly be doing a video of the garden as the cherry blossom is nearly in flower which will enable people to see it in this glorious spring season. Looking forward to seeing people when we are through these difficult times.
