Our friends at All Saints School have given us some surplus tree whips, these are single stem shoots which grow before branches are formed .We have been given native dogwood, hawthorn, dog rose, and crab apple. We plan to plant them into a new laurel hedge on the far southern boundary of the churchyard during September 2024, which will link up with the already flourishing laurel hedging on the Eastern boundary that was installed in the spring.  We are seeking specialist advice,  and have the grant funding to do this. All Saints has asked horticulturalist Jacqui Sharples  to install the new southern laurel bounday hedge for us

The Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild challenge is a great opportunity to engage with nature as an individual, household, or with your church community throughout the summer. Find some wild ideas at
