I love gardens but am no gardener. The parental ‘green thumb’ didn’t pass on to me. (Our natural bushland has its own self-managing beauty, fortunately.)
Wandering among the exhibits at our annual floral festival –
Blooming Church – is always a delightful experience. Late summer garden flowers, native plants and grasses, vegetables and fruit are all part of God’s bounty to us and here they were arranged with glorious artistry: God’s creation meets human creativity.
I marvelled at the displays in the cathedral, and above them, the vaulting timbers of the roof and the glorious stained glass windows depicting events and people from the bible. Art work and embroideries with a botanical theme were also on show. Such creativity!
