The Memory Garden



The Memory Garden which is situated on the crossroads in Sandford is looking particularly lovely at the moment. If you have the chance you should go along and have a look at it. Sandford WI are responsible for its maintenance and Jenny and Colin do a wonderful job of looking after it. They would be grateful if any of our members would like to help as well. They put in a plant in memory of any of our ladies who have died so it will always hold a special place in our hearts.
