Sheila

By  Tessa Bunney 2017
I am currently working with Rural Arts and Thirsk Community Care on the Arts Council England 'Celebrating Age' Programme aiming to engage older people in arts and culture. This is Sheila, formally an architect who created her own garden from scratch which is now mainly foliage plants. Now in her 80's, until last year Sheila was able to help maintain the garden. We've recently been out in the garden snipping and photographing some of her plants, the first time she's been out there for sometime.
