ALL ACTIONS

This page lists all the actions spread across our site. You can use this list to help your parish plan what activities they will take up on their Journey. You can see these actions in the context of how they fit into parish life in our Parish Guide to Laudato Si’. Explore here

To help you choose actions that suit your parish’s needs, you can filter the results by areas of parish life, The Vatican’s Laudato Si’ Goals, The livesimply Award categories, or even mix and match!

WILDFLOWER MEADOW

Only 2% of the UK’s wildflower meadows that existed in the 1930s survive today.
This has seriously impacted the wildlife populations that rely on them. Could your parish create a meadow? One of the easiest ways of doing this is simply to mow the lawn less. You will be amazed at what grows in your turf if you allow it time. It doesn’t need to look tatty either, just mow round the edges to give your meadow some styling. Like a nice new haircut.

PLANTS IN POTS

A nice idea if you are short on space is plants in pots. These are especially great for children.
They can care for their own pot and learn a lot in the process. Make sure to have spares in case the naughty slugs spoil the party!

VEGETABLE GARDEN

Could you turn a piece of parish grounds into an allotment?
This is a great way for the parish to get their hands dirty and marvel at the wonders of giant vegetables growing from tiny seeds. Even if you do not have much room, a couple of meters of raised bed can produce quite a bit of food.
