Plant Sale in St Thomas's House garden. Your plants could help buy recycling equipment for the garden!
With so many mature shrubs and flower beds we struggle to dispose of our rubbish. We are an ecological congregation and strive to garden as ethically as possible. We need to buy new compost bins, which will be vermin-proof and an electric shredder to cope with the prunings from the churchyard and garden, so we can recycle much of our rubbish and use it to mulch the borders.
There will be a plant sale to raise funds towards this project. Could you help by raising some plants for sale? Sara would be grateful to hear of any offers of plants and of course we would love to welcome you to buy plants on May 25th. Ring 01722415331 with your offers of help.

Fretwork with Elizabeth Kenny - Dowland Lachrimae - Salisbury International Arts Festival event. The viol ensemble Fretwork has brought music old and new to audiences hitherto unfamiliar with the sound-world of the instrument. Elizabeth Kenny is one of Europe’s leading lute players. Together, they present a celebration of the 450th anniversary of John Dowland who was one of the finest lutenists and composers of his age. In 1604, Dowland published an extraordinary collection of music called Lachrimae. Before a series of wonderfully lively galliards, Dowland presented a transcendental journey based on his most famous song, ‘Flow my teares’, which is also the inspiration for a short contemporary meditation by Adrian Williams: 'teares to dreams'.

Jordi Savall - Salisbury International Arts Festival event. Hailing from Catalunya, Jordi Savall is one of the most gifted musicians of his generation. His career as a performer, teacher, researcher and creator of new projects put him at the heart of the revaluation of historical music. Designed to give a broad view of the bass viol during the Baroque period, this programme forms a mosaic of French- or Italian-inspired pieces punctuated by four bridging pieces by English composers. Jordi performs with the support of the Departament de Cultura of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Institut Ramon Llull and the “Culture Programme” of the European Union.For more information on the Arts Festival click here. |
