Thank you everyone for attending our Sunflower Memories event
What a beautiful afternoon we had earlier this month at our first Sunflower Memories event. The sunshine provided the perfect backdrop for a gentle stroll through the gardens, accompanied by wonderful music from the West Suffolk Symphonic Wind Band. Throughout the afternoon, people shared stories, reflected on special memories, and took time to remember loved ones in a peaceful and supportive setting. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the event, and helped make it so special
