Included in the BBC-led Breathing Spaces campaign is St Mary's Church Aided School in Overton, Wrexham, which received pounds 3,050 to host an open day to promote their community wildlife garden, a vegetable and fruit garden and an outdoor educational centre.
With help from the Breathing Spaces project the churchyard will be made more environmentally friendly by planting native trees and shrubs.
On a recent weekend BBC Breathing Spaces led by Tim Ellingford and Bridget from the gardening programme, in conjuction with the park staff, transformed a lawned garden into a wonderful array of colourful flowers and foliage which I could never imagine in a thousand years.
