🌿 Eco Church Friday: Caring for a Wild Churchyard 🌿

This week, we’re giving a big thank you to Fraser from Fraser’s Fresh Cuts! He has been spending time helping us manage the churchyard at All Saints.

A wild churchyard is a wonderful thing. It gives space for flowers, insects, birds and all sorts of wildlife to thrive. But it still needs care, time and hard work to keep it healthy, safe and accessible.

That balance matters: not too tidy, not too wild, but cared for in a way that helps both people and nature.

Fraser has helped us with a huge amount of practical work and manpower, and we’re really grateful for the time, energy and care he puts into helping us look after this special place.

If you’re looking for someone local to help with garden or grounds work, do have a look at Fraser’s Fresh Cuts and give his page a follow.

Thank you, Fraser, for helping us care for this little pocket of creation in the heart of Rayne. 🌿
