We’ve had several emails into the blog giving thanks and sharing pictures of the flowers at St Peter’s Church, and so we thank Richard T and David G for the below pictures and Richard T for the message:

‘Dressed for the licensing of the new Vicar today by the Bishop of Repton. Looks beautiful and thank you to all those who devoted so much effort.’

🌸Church Flowers🌸

On Saturday St Peter’s church was decorated with flowers for the licensing ceremony of our new vicar which took place on Sunday.

The church looked and smelled absolutely stunning! I personally want to thank everyone who helped.

Lots of people came on the day to arrange flowers, clean, sweep up, tidy, polish, weed the path, make us cups of tea and coffee, and helped to make the church look so beautiful.

Thank you also to everyone for such generous donations of flowers and foliages.

I think you will all agree, it was a job well done 😊

The flowers will be in church until next weekend, so please call in if you’re passing by.

Wild Orchid

Thank you to the eagle-eyed Martin C for sending through this picture of a wild orchid spotted on Parwich Hill.

There are a few locations within a walk of the village where these fairly rare wildflowers can be seen in spring and early summer, always worth keeping your eyes peeled for them.

It is with great regret that we will have to cancel Open Gardens this year. Covid restrictions have created too many complications for our small committee to overcome alongside a smaller number of gardens able to open. This means that there will be no donations available for village groups again this year.

However, we are hoping to hold a casual evening event in July where we can open gardens for folks from the village. 

Definite plans (Boris permitting!) include the Produce Show on September 12th, a talk in October and the Bob Matthews Quiz on November 20th in the Legion. Looking forward to seeing you all then. 

Next year is the 70th anniversary of the Society and with your help we hope to have a bumper year!

Snowdrops for Sale

There are bundles of snowdrops in the green (ready to plant now for a display next year) outside Rookery House. Money raised will go to Parwich and District Horticultural Society. Please place money in the jar provided and remember to hand sanitise afterwards.


Last year we raised around £160 from doorstep plant sales and donated the money to the Memorial Hall to help with running costs during the pandemic. Look out for more plants and vegetable seedlings as the spring gets going. Proceeds will be distributed later to help another village group in need.


Thank you,

Sue H
