We all value flowers, what they represent and how they give us joy. They can also bring families or communities together marking special events. Queens Gardens is one place where this happens all the time. The next time you visit this park why not try and spot the various trees marking such occasions?

With the rose the national flower of both England and Bulgaria, it was great to meet up again with members of the Bromley Bulgarian group in celebration of the roses they donated and planted late last year. They installed a plaque to mark this, as well as taking the opportunity for watering and feeding the roses. It is sincerely hoped that they will flourish along with our various communities.

The Bromley Bulgaria group hope to arrange a further event in Queens Gardens later in the year.
