It Took 4 Years To Grow This Church From Trees

This beautiful tree church in New Zealand is quite impressive enough, but what makes it even more amazing is that it took him 4 years to create! Cox carefully selected from a wide variety of trees for his beautiful church. Some have stone-colored trunks, while, others, with sparse foliage to ensure that his church will always be illuminated by sunlight.
What's Brian Cox's secret? Owning a gardening company called Treelocations, which replants whole, live trees using enormous mechanized spades. This allowed him to plant live trees in any way he wanted, completing this church in only 4 years. Cox drew his inspiration from traveling and observing churches around the world.
I walked out my back door one day and thought, ‘That space needs a church’ – and so it began. I cleared the area in April 2011 and made the iron frame, drawing on all the research I had done over the years of studying churches.
