Local Life - St Helens - May 2018

The locals who have volunteered to
maintain the site hope visitors will use Ellen’s
garden as a place of quiet reflection and
contemplation.
Louise Tipping, principal at Winstanley
College said: “This is a lovely tribute by the
community to Ellen which we will treasure.
“Ellen loved nature and people and so a
garden inspired by her is a fitting tribute to a
much missed student, friend and daughter.”
Organisers and volunteers also hope the
garden will eventually become eligible to
enter the Wigan in Bloom competition.
Local artist, Vikky Crompton, is planning to make
big mosaic stepping stones with any interested
members of the community for Ellen’s Garden. If
you’d like to get involved with making the mosaics
or helping with the ongoing maintenance of Ellen’s
Garden please contact Joe Taylor on 01942 700060
