Harvest flowers – seasonal and sustainable 

20/10/2021

It has been the intention of the flower team for some time to arrange our flowers for church in harmony with the universe – to be seasonable and sustainable. We now use organic oasis . This year the flowers for harvest were gathered from with-in a mile of Hampstead and mostly from the graveyard . We live in one of the greenest cities in the world and through the pandemic we have become even more so – encouraging biodiversity and cleaning our air. Emma Thompson, when presenting the Earthshot prize on Sunday evening, mentioned that thrift originates from the verb to thrive.  To flourish we need to take care of our resources!  Please feel free to nudge us if you see us slipping from this ideal!
