Mr and Mrs Ali pay the garden a visit

On Saturday, Mr and Mrs Ali, Shakir Ali's parents came to see how we have been progressing with the garden.
Shakir Ali is the young man who was murdered in front of the garden in July 2001.
Mr and Mrs Ali were very grateful to all the people who have helped in the garden, they like the idea of an arch of roses to commemorate Shakir.
Mr Ali has expressed an interest in helping out in the garden and has left his contact numbers, he lives nearby.
I am also examining ways of contacting local artists to see if there is someone who might be able to make us a sign to say that this is a community garden. We could put in a further bid to the community council if necessary, as they did not spend all their grant last year.
