Little Eden

For many years the paddock behind Christ Church, Eston, has been somewhat forgotten. Its grass is maintained, but unfortunately this great resource hasn’t been utilised to its full potential.

To bring it to life and create something which will benefit many in the parish/community of Eston and Normanby, a safe and accessible community garden space is being developed to enable quiet reflection, respite, fellowship, community and more.

The ministry attached will focus on offering support and a sense of belonging to those in Eston and Normanby who suffer with issues related to poor mental health, isolation, or simply feeling overwhelmed in their daily lives. This will be done by encouraging people to engage in horticultural activities to promote a healthy lifestyle, positive coping mechanisms, and community, whilst gaining a sense of achievement and fulfilment through working in God’s beautiful creation.
