纽西兰一位名叫巴瑞 (Barry Cox) 的男子花了4年时间建造这座独特的绿色教堂。

Using his trademark Tree Spade, Barry Cox was able to relocate a variety of mature trees to create a unique and structurally complex church on his 1.2 hectare property

巴瑞年轻时曾花好几年时间骑机车环游欧洲和美国，并对教堂建筑产生浓厚兴趣，回到纽西兰后，他把树木移植到广达1.2公顷的土地上，并耐心培育、等待，终于成功打造一座会呼吸的活教堂！

巴瑞刻意选择枝叶较为稀疏的植物来「制作」教堂屋顶，以确保光线能够透入，即使是寒冬也不会有光线不足问题。

围墙则是用粗壮的澳大利亚树所围成。

教堂里头有大约能容纳100人的座位，结构目前还依赖铁架，预计数年后可以被枝干给取代。

虽然巴瑞原本是打算建造一座自己的专属秘密教堂，但由于拗不过亲友，他最后选择开放这片小天地。

每当有新人要来教堂结婚时，巴瑞都会花上8小时帮教堂的草木「梳妆打扮」。

巴瑞表示，他大约花5小时除草，再花3小时确定教堂的花园和树木已经准备好「迎客」。

While Mr Cox orignially designed the unique space for his own enjoyment, he bowed to pressure from friends and relatives in January, finally opening the magical property's wrought iron gates to the public

巴瑞说，这些树很多是从附近「救」回来的，由于大家知道他很爱树，所以如果有大树要被砍掉，对方会先致电给巴瑞，而他也会马上去把大树救回自己的小天地。

As couples line up to say their vows in the one-of-a-kind venue, Mr Cox revealed he spends around eight hours 'primping' the grounds before it is ready for an event

因此，虽然巴瑞的教堂仅完成4年，但这里的树会让你以为这座教堂历史悠久。

教堂里有约100个位子，且每周大约会有两次活动。

The space seats around 100 people and is currently supported by a temporary iron frame, which in a few yeas will be replaced by branches from the growing roof

Devoted to giving condemned tree's a second life, much of the greenery that now stands on Mr Cox's property was liberated from surrounding areas

巴瑞以前曾梦想成为教皇，如今也算是美梦成真了！

Relocating trees that have already been given the chance to mature means that Mr Cox's garden does not look four years old, it appears to have been established decades before

快来看看这座不可思议的绿色活教堂吧！
