# I bought this church from someone who didn't have the love anymore…

_Lagt ut av Emma den 2026-03-30_

I bought this church from someone who didn't have the love anymore for it and knew it would be perfect for my garden. What do you recommend I do with it? Clean it up? Leave the moss? 🤔 I wondered - is the top of the church too minimal for a plant to grow? ⛪💓

Behind it, I also have a gnome with a wheelbarrow that my other half chose. Should I fill the barrow with plants any recommendations welcome.

Omg %100 leave the moss it looks so pretty! The top may be just enough room for a succulent or something else with small roots
