Do you have some snowdrops you could spare for our Churchyard?

After successfully planting Crocus and Narcissus last year, we would like to add some Snowdrops to our Churchyard. Snowdrops symbolize hope, purity, and new life, particularly linked to Christianity through the Feast of Candlemas and the story of Adam and Eve. Their emergence from the winter soil represents the end of winter and the coming of spring, and they are often called “Candlemas Bells” because they were used to decorate churches during that feast. The best time to plant Snowdrops is at the end of flowering as they are dying down. If you have some to spare, please bring your snowdrops together with a spade/trowel to the Churchyard on Saturday

morning, 28th February from 10 am to 12 noon for planting. If you would like to donate but are not free on Saturday 28th please either contact me, or bring your snowdrops to Christ Church entrance porch on Friday 27 February. There will be some containers to leave them in.

Please help us enhance our beautiful, Gold status Eco Churchyard by donating some

of your Snowdrops – it will look amazing next Spring.

With thanks in advance
