A fantastic event marking the many many plants that are mentioned in the bible was held at St Nicholas, Newington over the weekend. Many of the bible references were available along with a display of many of the plants we can actually find in the UK here.
Mel and Cynthia's knowledge of these local plants was available as descriptions highlighting their role in medicine, folklore, and more practical uses as well. Talks throughout the weekend by Mel on the plants, plants available for sale, and a very popular stall of cakes and refreshements made for an enjoyable weekend where we met many people living in the village and surrounding areas.
Here are a few pictures from the event.
