GIVE SOMEONE A LIFT

Help cut down traffic and air pollution by sharing your car with other parishioners, especially if they rely on a lift to get there!

PLANT SWAP

A parish plant swap or sale is a great way to encourage people to grow their own food at home.

It enables members of the community to make the best use of their skills and space to grow their favorites and share with others. Knowing that Mrs Goggins has succeeded in creating hardy tomatoes, while you have got the beans off to a roaring start means you can both look forward to a varied harvest! A plant sale can also be a great way of raising funds for other projects.

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.

ORCHARD

Apples, plums, cherries, pears, or even the elusive quince can all be grown in your parish.

The beautiful blossoms are great for pollinators and the fruits can be enjoyed by the whole parish.

GREENING URBAN AREAS

Work with your local community to bring the beauty of nature into your urban spaces.

CREATE A COMMUNITY QUIET GARDEN

Could your Parish grounds provide a quiet space to the local community?

Could your Parish grounds provide a quiet space to the local community, or a dedicated area for prayer and reflection? ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest’ (St Mark’s Gospel 6.31). If Jesus regularly and consistently needed such space to just ‘be’, then so do we.
