Saturday Morning with Barbara Park

Barbara Park moved from her home on the Peak where she lived for thirty-five years to a villa in Clearwater Bay last summer. Sadly, the main reason for the move is that this Peak home is now slated for demolition.

Her new home environment has a completely different microclimate, and she's been getting to grips with a long-neglected garden. Most of her collections (well known to many of our members) have fitted into the new house, and she welcomes us to see them on the 24 October.

She is a keen gardener, and has moved a year ago from Lugard Road, at the Peak, (with a totally shaded garden) to Clearwater Bay, and with a garden bathed in sunshine.
