Stephen, I will always be in awe of your courage, strength and determination in the past months.
I have never met anyone who made the most of every day like you did, your love of life and your vision for the garden gave us all the strength to go through this hell together.
With the help of some amazing friends ( you know who you are ) we came together, moved mountains and made dreams come true.
Until we meet again my love, I will see you in my dreams.
Rest easy.

I will always love you,
Glenda.

In leu of flowers please plant a tree, play some Alice Cooper, and think of him at times.

Wow, what a wonderful day, the response we had to the Open Garden Fundraiser last Sunday was exceptional.

Many thanks to those who attended and made your generous donations.

We reached our target for the day, over $11,000, plus money raised before and after Sunday brings the total up to $ 13,500.

Certainly the day would not have been so successful the help of many volunteers and the generous donations of equipment.

Special thanks to.
Jarryd and Maddi Wilson, from The Snack Shack, for supplying food and drinks on the day.

Vanessa Beckitt, from Innerji Sound and Massage, for a marathon of playing the amazing crystal singing bowls.

Stawell Club, for the loan of the tables and chairs.

Project Platypus, for the loan of the gazebos.

Grampians Equipment Hire, for the loan of the portable toilet.

The scone makers, YUMMM

Jon Parkin, from Westway Civil and Earthmoving, for all of your help building the garden.

Friends and family for helping move mountains ( literally at times )
and of course everyone who travelled from near and far to be a part of this wonderful day.

Adding the final touches to the gardens for our open day, Sunday 14th June.
Please come along and donate what you can afford for a very important cause.
I am hoping to raise enough money to purchase a service trolley for our oncology department, in the Stawell Hospital.

Currently the Stawell Hospital have limited facilities to deal with a growing demand as more and more people are diagnosed with this cruel disease. If you can’t make it on the day and still want to donate please DM me and I can give you details.

100%of all monies raised will go to the Stawell Oncology department.

I deeply thank everybody who has helped me set up this weekend and to all of those who have already donated to this worthy cause.

King’s birthday market Halls Gap will be my last market after doing the rounds for well over 3 decades. Ill health no longer permits me to continue.
Good news is I am having an open garden day on the 14th June, between 10 am till 4 pm to raise money for the Stawell Hospital Oncology Department, every cent will be donated to raise enough for a new trolly desk to assist the wonderful Oncology Nurses who need this equipment urgently. Please donate what you can afford, I will also have a raffle for some giant Elephant Ears in large pots.
Remember, 100% of all monies raised will go to the Stawell Oncology Department.
Many thanks, hope to see you on the 14th June, between 10 am and 4 pm.
