Remembering our friend Rose .
Rose was an inspiring and constant volunteer in the Tooting Community Garden since it was created in 2011. Her forte was quiet and focused gardening in the herb garden which became known as ‘Rose’s Bed’. She would garden there solo or more often with another volunteer, passing on her skills and knowledge to someone new to gardening.
Rose would demonstrate hands-on the small-scale foundations of good gardening with these colleagues, working a small patch at a time on weeding, soil condition, pruning, sowing and planting. Many people have shared that this close attention to the space and to individuals was inspiring and therapeutic. That wellbeing impact is exactly what the Tooting Community Garden was created to offer, and for Rose it was not a ‘project role’, it was part of her nature.
If you would like to donate in memory of Rose, that would be greatly appreciated.
Funds received here by TTT will be used in her memory in the Tooting Community Garden. We will plan what to do, whether it’s developing a space or acquiring plants or another appropriate and relevant memorial. You may have suggestions in due course and we’d welcome those.
