David Bellamy with Bishop of Taunton and the Dulverton Churchyard Committee
A new garden surrounding the All Saints Church in Dulverton, Somerset, has been officially launched by David Bellamy. Mr Bellamy opened the site announcing it was the opening of “God’s Garden’.
The Churchyard Committee Development Group secured almost £50k from Community Spaces to create a wild life garden in the old churchyard as well as open up access and encourage local people to use the site more.
The launch attracted hundreds of visitors and the group served up over 200 cream teas to guests! Entertainment was also provided by the South Molton band.
David Bellamy was on hand to talk to people about the wild flowers that had been planted in the new garden and the types of wild life this would go on to attract. Mr Bellamy also emphasised that it was everybody’s responsibility to now look after the new gardens.
The Bishop of Taunton, Rt Revd Peter Maurice said; ““All the work that had been done in the Church and Churchyard could be summed up in the single word Hospitality.”
