The flowers around the churchyard are a joy to behold! The spring wild flowers have been and gone to be replaced by other seasonal perrenial and annual plants, all annuals we have grown from seed, the Cosmos and Nicotiana in tall pots against the church building add a lovely splash of colour and the sweet peas in the frame opposite the West Door are simply fantastic, not just because we grew them from seed but also the scent is lovely, they are old fashioned heritage varieties that have that heady scent from years gone by, several people have mentioned to us how this takes them back to years ago when relatives usually grandparents used to grow them in the back garden and put bunches of them in the house filling each room with their scent, one of the most powerful memory stimulants and of course the pollinators are busy around them. What's not to like as they say.
All thanks to the hard work of one of us preparing the ground and building the willow frame. Thank you.
Elsewhere Calendula and Poppies have been planted between gravestones the Calendula adding that lovely 'pop' of orange.
