Fruits of Creation

The Rev Kate Bottley joins Christians in Hackney giving thanks for the fruits of creation, as churches prepare to celebrate their harvest festivals. She meets head gardener Mel Zulu, who tends the land around the church of St John at Hackney, where a new orchard and rooftop beehives provide fresh fruit and honey for the local community. Radzi Chinyanganya meets members of Bible Society, who, with an award-winning creator, are preparing a brand new Christian garden design for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, inspired by Psalm 23 and with the aim of encouraging others to start their own community gardens. \n\nYoung Christian couple Pip and Will Campbell-Clause, who run a sustainable food venture in Bristol, explain what harvest means to them. And in Hackney, Kate joins Shana Dawn Lewis, a Christian who bakes cakes for others despite the challenges of a complex health condition. \n\nThere are hymns, old and new, celebrating harvest: We Plough the Fields, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, The Lord’s My Shepherd, Come Ye Thankful People, Indescribable, You Restore My Soul and All Things Bright and Beautiful.
