Millennium Garden


As you approach the church and look to the left, you will see our beautiful millennium garden. This is an ongoing UCW project. The garden is a wonderful place to gaze at the wonder of nature. Please use it as a place of reflection and relaxation. Take time to to smell the flowers, walk the paths, have a picnic and pull a weed or two. Judy MacPherson is our gardiner. Her time and care is appreciated. Help us keep it clean and tidy. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this area.
