The Garden of Creation

The Garden of Creation, Little School Pre-School Nursery at Burley in Wharfedale Methodist Church, was officially opened on 16th July by Alison Goding, the Garden Manager at R.H.S. Harlow Carr.

Helen has redesigned the grounds of the Methodist Church leased by the nursery to provide a sensory garden, wildlife area and a large wall mural. She appointed 2 artists to contribute to the project: Lewis Morgan (www.lewismorgansculpture.co.uk) who designed and made a timber mural of Noah’s Ark and a procession of animals and David James (www.olicanamosaics.co.uk) who made a selection of mosaic images to tell the story of The Creation.
