Forthcoming Celebratory Event at Penrith Methodist Church, Penrith - 11th May 10am -4pm
The potential to spread joy offered by gardens and plants has inspired volunteers from Penrith Methodist Church to hold a celebratory day within the context of a ‘Thanks and Hiving Weekend’ at the Church including plant stall plus exhibitions and displays related to heritage and remembrance. Bring spare plants to share or collect some for your own garden. Themes such as Easter Story,’ ‘Sew to Grow,’ ‘Healing,’ ‘Remembrance,’ ‘Creation’ and the ‘Garden of Eden’ creates the background for displays on window ledges. ‘Bridging the Gap’ will illustrate how young and old can come together. During WW2, the hall at the Methodist Church was used for feeding the troops. To remember them and all those who lost their lives in the Great War, several ‘there but not there’ acrylic Tommies will be on display over the weekend. A power point display will feature photos of local people and children in their gardens along with descriptions of what their gardens mean to them. A master composter will provide expertise on composting.
‘Gardeners Question Time’ Session
...will be held on the evening of Friday 10th May from 7.30pm at the Methodist Church. Here below are a few images of local gardens - special places that provide joy and good feeling to those who own and use them. See more at the event.

On Wednesday, 17th April, the Penrith Remembers Group will plant an English oak tree in the grounds of Castle Park to commemorate the end of the First World War a century ago. It will be known as the Armistice Oak, Rory Stewart MP, president of Penrith Remembers, said today.
Penrith Remembers is a voluntary body formed in 2014 to organise a programme of war remembrance events in association with local authorities, voluntary groups, individuals and businesses in the town. At a public ceremony at the park bandstand (starting 2pm) a sapling Quercus Robur English oak will be planted by Ann Risman, founder of Penrith Remembers, and then dedicated by Canon David Sergant. The Armistice Oak will be positioned between two other mature memorial trees -- the Verdun Oak planted at the opening of the Castle Park on Empire Day, 24th May, 1923, and what is believed to be the Festive Oak, which marked the 1951 Festival of Britain. The Verdun Oak is reportedly linked to symbolic acorns brought to England from the First World War battlefield in France. Centenary events have already taken place over the last four years. Examples include a memorial stone in the Castle Park for a Glassonby-born Australian VC soldier, two books of war memories, talks, exhibitions, concerts, excursions and a performance by Penrith Players. With help from the Heritage Lottery and Cumbria County Library, the co-chairman of Penrith Remembers', Richard Preston, and a small team of volunteers have compiled a public historic reference of the 200 local military who lost their lives and are named at the Castle Park's memorial gateway arch. Richard is staging an exhibition in the gateway on the afternoon of the oak planting Rory Stewart, MP for Penrith and the Border, said: "A great deal of interest has been shown nationally in what is happening in Penrith.
"The Armistice Oak is a life-affirming symbol, a living legend and one we will use to remember those who have fallen, the injured and those left behind.”
