Finalist in 2010 RHS Britain in Bloom ‘Large Village’ category

 

welcome to our website

Floral Guernsey is not just about planting flowers, it also aims to improve the Bailiwick environment with conservation projects, permanent planting schemes, recycling and sustainability projects. Here in St Pierre du Bois we embrace their ethos by working with our parish community to enhance our natural environment!  

Our initiatives include the creation of the Community Garden next to the Post Office. In May 2009, another major project, Le Ch’min du Trésor which is a circular walk starting at the rectory garden, was opened to the public.  As well as ongoing tidying and planting 130 trees have now been been planted in the wildlife meadow at the Walk. In Spring 2009 over 50 pupils of La Houguette School have planted a line of trees at La Croix cemetery to provide a natural break between vehicles and the area of grass into which the cemetery will be extended.

The most important aspect for us as the Floral St Peter's Group is that we all enjoy being involved, and have a lot of fun in the process.

We much appreciate the support of a willing band of volunteers who have signed up to our 'Give an Hour' campaign and all those who provide financial support.

St Pierre du Bois, now more commonly known as St Peter's is one of 10 parishes in Guernsey, the second largest of the Channel Islands.  One of the western 'country' parishes, it is bordered on three sides by Torteval, St Saviours, and the Forest.   Quiet country lanes meander through the parish to a winding cliff path which tops picturesque rugged cliffs on the island's south coast, and on the west coast a series of sandy beaches. 

St Peters is spotlighted in the ‘Where I Live’ feature in the winter edition of ‘Beautiful Britain’ magazine
