All Saints Gardening Group

All Saints’ Church benefits from an attractive situation with wide grass verges to the north and east, a large green to the west and a Garden of Remembrance to the south. This setting is enhanced by a variety of mature trees.

All Saints’ Garden of Remembrance is important for two reasons. It is a place for the ashes of loved ones to be interred and a haven for those who seek a quiet corner in Gosforth to mourn, reflect, pray and hopefully regain strength. People are drawn to the peace and beauty of our Garden of Remembrance.

Our gardeners weed beds, mow lawns, maintain paths and grow, prune and care for the plants. They have created a lovely place which is a great asset to the people of Gosforth. The hard work of our gardeners and grass cutting team who generously give up their time is appreciated by our church and Gosforth residents.

Additional volunteers are needed to keep our gardens looking attractive. Tools are provided, training given, we work short mornings (2-3 hours) and are very sociable with a tea and cake break.  We also plan to plant more wild flowers around the grounds.

If you would like to come along and help, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Just send an e-mail to our office post@allsaints-gosforth.org.uk or telephone the office 0191 2130450 and we will respond with the date of our next gardening morning. We also have a WhatsApp Group to keep gardeners informed.
