This grove is dedicated to my mother and best friend – the most resilient and powerful woman I know. Each initial tree represents her and her children.

“Lo! Young we are and yet have stood
like planted hearts in the great Sun
of Love so long (as two fair trees
in woodland or in open dale
stand utterly entwined and breathe
the airs and suck the very light
together) that we have become
as one, deep rooted in the soil
of Life and tangled in the sweet growth.”

– J.R.R. Tolkien
