A slice of country magic

Planted in August 2015, this living church is the ideal venue for celebrating life's important moments. Upon entering  the Tree Church there is a sense of awe. The  hedged walls, the gothic glassless windows and the airy canopy of trees make for a serene and peaceful experience, enhanced by the birdsong from the nearby native plantings.
