Gardening Team
St Mary’s Church Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9am The Gardening Team is a voluntary group of people from the community who wish to ensure that the churchyard around St Mary’s is kept in excellent condition for the people of Partington and Carrington when they come to visit their loved ones’ graves, visit the historic church or just want to spend some time in the peace and quiet. The Gardening Team undertakes all aspects of gardening within the churchyard and church grounds whilst respecting the environment in which they work, maintaining the grass, flower beds, paths, trees and graves in addition to a special planting in a garden of remembrance.
The Team meets every Tuesday and Thursday morning throughout the year with a mid-morning break for tea and toast. Former members of this group who are now unable to do the physical work, still benefit socially from joining the team on their tea and toast break where there is always a warm welcome!
To get involved either just come along to church on a Tuesday or Thursday morning, or speak to Ron Bracegirdle the team's coordinator at church or contact us via the website form. |
