Remembrance wreaths for St Helens Church Willingham by Stow. With laurel to symbolise victory and glory and rosemary for remembrance. The first is for the men from our village who gave their lives in the service of their country in two world wars. The second wreath is for the 8,000,000 horses, donkeys and mules who also lost their lives in war.
Both wreaths are fully compostable, except for the polyester petals of the poppies (paper petals next year) Most of the plant material was grown in and around the village, even the straw bases. I like to think that the men who lost their lives from our village would have known the land and the gardens as boys, where these memorial wreaths were grown and made so many decades later. We must never forget 🌺 🌺 🌹🇬🇧
