The Church in the Garden project started in 2022 when we adopted a piece of land which was a bit of a wilderness to the rear of Winston Grange. We now lease the land from the Church of England and are turning it into something beautiful.
The objective has been to create a place of safety and peace and a beautiful garden to be thankful for and celebrate God’s awesome creation.
​
Much progress has been made. We have already harvested vegetables, built an irrigation system to use as much rainwater as possible, and planted a sensory border.
​
A willow tunnel and sandstone pathways have been constructed, and the children's area is well established with a wooden kitchen and a giant floor clock.
​
There is also a peace pole, with the words, 'let there be peace' in 8 languages.
​
One of the raised beds has been transformed into a herb garden and a different raised bed is currently blooming with flowers, insterspersed with vegetables!.
