God's Gardeners

St Hilda's prize winning gardeners
The team (pictured) meets for about an hour and a half every Tuesday morning and over four years has transformed the garden into a prize-winning delight.

After three previous attempts this year’s success is marked with a certificate, a silver salver and garden vouchers. They also won the appreciation of the congregation and many who pass by along the busy Preston North Road, some of whom will stop for a chat.

In 2015 the team plans a block-paved memorial section in front of the tree seat where people come and sit to enjoy a moment of peace.
