Dear Editor,
A senior pensioner puts on seasonal garden displays throughout the year for all the neighbours to enjoy. Living on flood plain, she is unable to dig to make a garden. Every mini-garden is created by hand with bags of soil, containerized plants, assorted figurines and solar lights — a truly awesome display. This senior does not have the pleasure of being able to view this display herself from her own house.
Near the end of September, a person or persons entered her property at night and stole several flowering plants and a dozen fancy star-shaped solar lights, leaving this garden display in almost total darkness. She mentioned these thefts to a friend called Sue as she was heartbroken. Sue arranged to come over for a coffee visit the following week.
Sue arrived, along with a group of eight or nine additional vehicles, with each person leaving a replacement solar, and children leaving mini-solars. The gardens have now been restored for all of us to enjoy.
Thank you to Sue and her friends for such an act of kindness.
A.M.R. (a neighbour)
Merritt
