Opening of Magheralin Garden of Reflection

Having been awarded the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pollinator Garden Award, a grant of £100,000, in May of this year, Magheralin Parish has created a beautiful garden in the church grounds. The Garden of Reflection which officially opened on Friday 18 November, is a space to be shared and enjoyed by pollinators and people alike. It is a garden for the whole community, a place of beauty to be still and enjoy creation.
