Green-fingered members of a Stafford church put their floral and artistic skills to creative use in a special display about the environment.
St Pauls Stafford is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year focusing on the past, present and future.
A flower and arts festival to mark the occasion gave people from St Pauls sister church, St Thomas & St Andrews Doxey, the opportunity to dream up a four-part display with an environmental theme.
The display explored Gods ongoing creation in the past, our rubbish in the present and the choices of desolation or, with Gods grace and our action, seeds of hope in the future.
One festival visitor reported: They made the hairs on my neck stand up!.
Festival organiser Hilda Bowers added: It was a privilege to play a part in such a joyous event. The floral display from Doxey Church was very thought-provoking, highlighting the damage to the environment but also giving a message of hope its not too late to change.
