Flourishing flowers

Friendly blossoms can be found on the table of Rochester Meeting.

Jill K Bruford Clarke, of West Kent Area Meeting, shared: ‘In the small garden of Rochester Meeting house we have a Peace rose, a new white Quaker Light rose and a large, prolifically flowering, Quaker Star rose.

‘Friends often include the Quaker Star in the garden flower posy for the Meeting table. This arrangement caught my eye particularly as the roses complement the colour of Quaker faith & practice so well.’
