The children visited the church’s wild flower garden to plant some apt snowdrop bulbs as part of the congregation’s ongoing eco drive.

It’s the latest in a series of environmental events the church has been involved in since taking up eco-congregation status, and Mearns kirk’s eco-warrior, Kay Galloway, said: “We thought planing snowdrops would be a fun way to get the children involved in our eco activities and make them aware of the need to care for the planet.”
