Barton St David Plant Sale 16 May

As we begin to get ready for our Barton St David plant sale fundraiser in May, we’re hoping some of you might be willing to help by growing plants to donate.

If you enjoy starting plants from seed, dividing perennials, or potting up extras from your garden, your contribution would make a huge difference. All proceeds from the sale go toward supporting Barton church and every plant—big or small—helps!

If you’re interested or have questions about what to grow, please email (click on the email link) Jo Oubridge at wheathillbenefice@gmail.com or call 07731 862797.

Bath and West Show: Once again we’ve been asked if we can help and provide a team for the Church Tent, between 28-30 May, please let Jane know if you’re interested.

Holiday Club: We’ve begun planning, it will be from 18 – 20 August if you’re available and would like to help please let Jane know.
