The Contemplation Garden is next to St Giles’ Church. It is managed sustainably in harmony with nature. It was originally sown with a wildflower meadow mix in 2013. Additions in recent years have included native trees, climbers and bulbs, as well as hedges, benches, and boxes for bees and birds. Volunteers maintain several distinct habitats: hedge, scrub, log piles, stone piles and meadow. Consequently the area around the church now supports more than 200 native species. Anne Hamling, Lindsay O’Kelly, Mat Dempsey and Jacqueline Pumphrey are currently looking after the Garden. If you have any questions about it or would like to get involved, please contact Anne Hamling, anne.hamling21@gmail.com
