Over the last few years a good deal of work has been done on the grounds of St Chrysostom's Church, to provide a space which not
only improves the Church's appearance, but also is an asset to the local area.

In 2004 work began to create two beds for flowers and shrubs. Much of the design, and
planning work was done by Dick Hatch, an enthusiastic member of the congregation. In the
Summer the Lord Mayor of Manchester officially opened this section of the grounds.
These beds form a pleasant garden area of the grounds and this section is popular for wedding
photographs. As well as roses and flowers the beds contain shrubs specifically chosen to attract
bees and butterflies. We also planted a small Yew tree which was a cutting from a tree alive at
the time of Our Lord.

The following year an area of the grounds was set for plants
indigenous to the area (that is those which had grown in the area
since the last ice age). The University of Manchester assisted with
this area, which adjoins Dalton Ellis Hall.
The opening of this section of the grounds was shared by
representatives of the Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths, and
children from the Church Primary Schools provided music.

As time has gone on the gardens have become more established and have contributed greatly to the local area.
Our future plans are to replace the temporary labyrinth with a lawn area, which could be used for community outdoor activities, to
introduce more plants to attract butterflies and bees, to have a herb bed, and to improve the grounds at the Anson Road side of
Church.
