The plans for the Contemplation Garden at St Gile’s Church are progressing well and we are open to visitors during Arts Week. The garden is being managed to encourage a diversity of wildlife and wildflowers and to be used as an area for quiet contemplation
A recent survey identified 132 species of plants and shrubs in this small area and further surveys of insects, birds and animal life are planned. A cherry tree in the centre of the garden has been planted to mark the Queen's platinum jubilee. This tree will be dedicated on Friday 3rd June at 11am.
A waymarked path leads through the areas of wildflowers and encourages reflection. Special contemplation leaflets have been produced to aid peoples’ reflections. These will be available in the Church and Reading Room. Please visit the garden, enjoy the birdsong and beautiful views across the Vale and rest awhile.
Plants and flowers: Plants will be on sale at the church during the weekends of Arts Week and the church is open to view several floral displays and old historic church documents.
