For the fourth consecutive year, Shavington's St. Mark's Church is hosting the Community Remembrance Garden, a heartwarming tribute created by local children, adults, and community groups.
This annual display has grown into a cherished event, bringing together contributions from Shavington Primary School, Shavington Academy, Rope Green Nursery, Rounderbouts Nursery, St. Mark's Craft and Chatter group, the Glow Church group, and various individuals across the area.
This year's display, made possible by the dedication and creativity of countless community members, includes over 400 hand-knitted poppies.
Each poppy is a symbol of remembrance, thoughtfully crafted by hands from all walks of life in the village.
The vibrant display is a new creation each year, with contributions reflecting the unique talents and expressions of the community.
Children and Families Worker at St. Mark's Church and the organiser of the Remembrance Garden, Sara Randle, told Nub News: "It is a wonderful way for the community to come together, to commemorate, and to show their respects.
"We genuinely never know what we will receive, and each year we are delighted by the effort, dedication, and quality of the work.
"My husband Shaun and I enjoy putting the display in place each year.
The Remembrance Garden will be on view throughout November, offering a serene and reflective space for visitors to honor those who served and to appreciate the unity of the Shavington community.
Vicar at St. Mark's and All Saints' Church in Weston, Rev. Rachael Griffiths, said: "This is a true testament to the community spirit in our village.
"We are deeply grateful for the support we receive each year to create this display."
This Remembrance Garden stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring bonds within Shavington.
