Sensory Garden update
Isaac’s Apple – the central feature sculpture of the hand holding an apple has finally collapsed due to rot and decay (the wood was a Horse Chestnut tree –which did have disease, and so it’s decay was inevitable) the dry summer and wasps mining away internally has not helped. The Wyndham Park Forum have submitted a funding bid and more news will be updated here when we know the outcome.
