Poems Bloom for Local Charity

On return to her native Herefordshire, Grace Anderson has been inspired by Hereford and its surroundings to pick up her pen and produce her first book of poetry.

After living in Newbury for many years, Grace found that Hereford gave her the peace an time to make her first attempt at writing a collection of poems. She says “The people of Hereford are fortunate with their environment. I couldn’t have imagined writing such poems in the south east.”

The poems range from topics such as the Cathedral and Elgar to flood defences and love and are on sale from £4 at the Tourist Information Centre and Hereford Cathedral Shop. Any profits will be shared between Herefordshire Growing Point, a charity that helps vulnerable people through Horticultural Therapy and Newbury District Crossroads.

Herefordshire Growing Point encourages and assists people who are unable to manage traditional methods of growing plants to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of horticultural activities. Individual needs are met through utilising several alternative gardening techniques together with various tools and accessories.

Copies will be on sale at this Saturday’s Charities Market otherwise please contact the author on 01432 341 406
