Memorial Rose Garden

14th March 1946 - 29th June 2021

Liz was the inspiration driving the transformation this once neglected
part of the park into the beautiful garden you see today; now well
used and enjoyed by all.

She founded the Friends of Locke Park volunteer gardening
group and brought us home baking every week.

If you would like to continue her work, caring for
the roses and floral areas of the park, please give us
a try. We meet here every Friday at 10am

The rose garden is divided into a number of beds, each with a different variety of rose. This layout gives big blocks of colour.
