How 1 Man Used 4,000 Trees To Create An Amazing Tree Church
January 31, 2018

As Barry traveled, he became even more fascinated by churches and their architecture. He studied their height, depth, width and other angles that made them all so beautiful.
Building A Tree Church
He purchased property in Cambridge, a town in the Waikato region and began construction on approximately 3 acres. First, Barry cleared the land and began from scratch. Then, he built an iron frame first with the idea of using trees and plants and flowers to fill in the gaps. Sally Tagg Barry planted over 4,000 trees on his Dairy farm and used his TreeLocations company to relocate the trees to his church property. For the roof, Barry used cut-leaved Alder due to its flexibility and "sparseness." Any thicker and there would be no sunlight, so the Alder was the best choice. He planted Copper Sheen trees as the walls. These trees are sturdy and take on a stone look as they mature. And, in order to keep its shape, Barry must prune and trim these trees regularly. Sally Tagg The church is bordered by a thick, dense hedge which requires very little upkeep. And rose bushes wildly climb the exterior walls which offer a beautiful bloom come October. At the entrance stands iron gates that are from his family farm. And inside, there is a marble altar linking Barry to his ancestral home in Italy. Sally TaggSharing His Tree Church
Originally, the Tree Church was not designed for the public. But when Barry's nephew asked if he could use the church for his wedding...well, the rest is history. Barry has now opened his Tree Church up for all to enjoy.
