WHAT'S NEW
Message from Bella D'Arcy Reed: New Stuff wanted...
I am so sorry that the website has not had much new on it for a while. This is due to having a minor heart attack last Summer, managing to produce BUMPS and then being diagnosed as bi-polar (after fifty years of ups and downs, now they tell me...) It's been a difficult six months. However, I hope to resume quite soon and would like to hear from you if you have comments or ideas for articles - especially therapeutic gardens, “what the garden means to me” and garden history.
Please contact me.
And do have a look at the comments on BUMPS....
BUMPS
An audio/CD play by Sheila Dewey - available from 18 November 2011.
A chance meeting at a tea party in Surrey in 1889 led to one of the most affectionate, long-lasting, extraordinary garden partnerships of the 20th century.: that of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens.
Sheila Dewey’s play, re-written for audio from the original theatre production, is both funny and moving – and an ideal Christmas present for gardeners. This is a new venture for gardens and people - profits will go towards garden events for disabled people at the Chelsea Fringe.

Accessible Gardens
The sister-website, www.accessiblegardens.org.uk is now online.
This website has articles of interest to older gardeners and people of all ages with disabilities: it includes reports on gardens open to the public written by disabled people to be of benefit to other garden visitors.
There are also articles on making gardens and gardening accessible to children, young people, the community and anyone who is disadvantaged in any way, plus articles on other accessibility topics.
Any ideas for articles for both websites are very welcome: if you have a suggestion, please let us know.
