A really sad day for us all today, our beautiful friend and amazing trustee Angela passed away yesterday after a short illness. Anyone who's been involved in the garden over the past ten years will remember such a lovely person; always so friendly and positive, thoughtful and fun, giving so much time and energy to this project and her local community - truly the heart and soul of this place. The garden will not be the same without her. Thanks to our friends who came today to remember Angela, it was good to be together. Lots of love to her family and friends. We will never forget her ❤️
