As I usually set off on my annual pilgrimage a few days after Easter, I find that I see lots of Easter gardens inside and outside churches and chapels as I walk. These vary greatly but to make a basic Easter garden you just need some sort of container with earth and sand in it, a few twigs and some twine or string to fashion the three crosses of Good Friday, a few stones to represent the empty sepulchre, some greenery and perhaps some spring flowers. The photos show some of the examples I have seen in recent years.
Lots of spring flowers. Seen in a church in mid-Wales. 
A rather grand example in Hereford Cathedral. 
Simplicity outside a Baptist church in Herefordshire. 
I think the Sunday School might have made this joyful example. 
Small but perfectly formed, including the folded grave-clothes. 
Probably my favourite. On the steps in a church porch in Somerset. 
‘Risen from the tomb’. A lovely Easter garden using an ancient grave as a base. 
Outside a Methodist Church on the Isle of Man.
