\"\"In our grounds, there are gardens and memorials and these act as a focal point for remembrance and reflection. Over the past couple of years, we have worked hard to create peaceful and beautiful areas in and around the church for those who continue to mourn.<\/p>\n

Recently, we noticed an eye catching, splash of colour in our Jubilee Memorial Garden. Whilst, it is a welcome sight on a cold December day, we felt we should use it as a gently reminder that, to be fair to all those visiting the gardens, we do operate some simple rules.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our gardens form an important part of our bereavement ministry. In the New Year. we hope to continue the development of our Jubilee Memorial Garden.<\/p>\n

We aim to have a draft proposal for the project in the next month or so. Our main objectives will be to create safe\u00a0 level access, reduce maintenance and continue the tidying up begun last year in the North\/South part of the garden.<\/p>\n

If you would like to talk to us about the garden then contact the parish office 01793 522832 or parishoffice@christchurchswindon.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Please do not disturb the ground – it can upset other families whose loved ones rest nearby. We do try to keep on top of the weeds and some gentle weeding is always welcomed.<\/p>\n

Please do not leave paper cards, plastic decorations or pot plants. They can blow around and soon become untidy.<\/p>\n

Cut flowers are welcome. We offer vases for our visitors to use and water is available throughout the site. The vases can safely be pushed into the ground and will keep the flowers fresh for a few days after which our Sexton will remove them.<\/p>\n

A tip from our Garden expert – avoid using carnations in your cut flowers – for some reason, members of our local wildlife demolish them within hours. Not sure who the culprits are but they are very partial to carnation!<\/p>\n
