ECO GARDENING GROUP at CHRIST CHURCH WALMSLEY

As the year draws to a close, we must congratulate our Tuesday ‘ECO’ gardening group volunteers at Christ Church Walmsley for maintaining our extensive graveyard and memorial garden, the second largest  in the whole of Manchester Diocese.

In the New Year, with new initiatives, hoping to achieve greater ‘ECO’ status, we would be grateful of any additional volunteers. If you enjoy gardening and feel that this is something that you could help with, please contact Ken Holt for more information. Thank you.  Special thanks to all who have done and amazing job and made such a difference on our older gravestones and also near the Ashworth Gate.

Thank you to Tony Foster for the photos. Ariel view by Robert Jackson & Toby Kennedy.

Part of our commitment to being an Eco-Church is sharing regular tips on how to be more eco-friendly in your every day lives.

Here is our monthly ‘Eco-Tip’ for November:

Green your home. Combat climate change and reduce heating costs by identifying and sealing drafts around your home. Find the gaps that let the cold air in and warm air out (think keyholes, letterboxes, cracks around the edges or bottoms of windows and doors, loft hatches, floorboards, etc.) and fix these gaps using the correct materials and online tutorials. Additionally, place foil or radiator panels to reflect heat into your room. Pray for those who might be experiencing the cold this winter.
