Helen was an inspiration and always a joy to work with in the Station Masters Garden. She was always smiling, kind to everyone and brimming with ideas. I miss her.

Our lovely friend and passionate garden volunteer Helen was a force of nature - quite literally- inspiring others to love nature and to grow- you will be very much missed by the garden volunteers but we know your spirit and legacy will shine on- thank you
