Wesley Memorial Church; developing wildlife friendly spaces for rest and reflection.

Wesley Memorial Church is a Christian community whose members are motivated by their faith to use their resources, including time and premises, to apply their insights and values of the gospel through worship and service. We recognise that as Christians we are responsible for the care of God’s earth, embedding sustainability in all our activities and reflecting on the environmental consequences of our decision making. We try to make caring for the environment integral to our worship of God. We are working to improve the impact of our buildings and surrounding land in ways which benefit the environment and the community. Underlying all we do is our faith in the living God, who made the world, loves it and entrusts it to the care of human society.

Our Eco Church Garden Project
Having completed our Open Doors project at a capital cost of £2.5 million, the Eco Church team are starting a gardening project to develop the small area of land we have around the church.
At the front of the church we want to improve the quality of the soil, plant things that do well in dappled shade, replace the trellis and grow plants that are colourful, suitable for shady areas and insect friendly. We would like to improve the seating to make a pleasant place for rest and reflection and install a water butt to collect rainwater in.
In the area outside the fire doors of the main hall there is a sunny little courtyard. We want to develop the seating here, have a range of planters with organic compost, a small water feature and perhaps a Junior Church garden. This will benefit the well-being of our staff, visitors and premises users and become a haven for wildlife.
