Visit to North Devon Hospice & viewing David Bakers memorial tree
The practical Gardening Group visited the North Devon Hospice gardens ont Thursday 14th May and the gentleman that gave us a tour of the gardens took us to see the Almond tree planted in memory of David Baker our U3a Chairman from 2020 -2025.
I thought some of our members who have fond memories of David would like to see a photo of it.
If anyone wishes to go and see it, it is down in the bottom orchard past the pond in a meadow area, where they are building a new gazebo.
