St Peter's Tidy Up
2025-06-14 10:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London) | St Peter’s, Cowleigh Bank, Malvern, WR141QP
The wonderful warm sunshine and recent rain showers have been really fabulous for the garden, I’m sure we can all agree.
But like all gardeners know, with the spring weather comes a host of gardening chores and our 3 church’s grounds need some springtime maintenance to keep them neat and tidy.
We have set a date to ‘Tidy up St Peter’s Churchyard’ on Saturday June 14th and we’d really appreciate your help!
If you can help, or have any questions please do contact our churchwarden Jane James – jane@mlwc.church
