Daphne’s Woodland Grove

Add to this grove
This woodland grove has been created in memory of our wonderful mother Daphne who loved the natural world. She asked for a tree to be planted in her name but was loved by so many we are going to plant a whole grove. In life she was a passionate supporter of many environmental, wildlife and animal welfare charities, so with this grove she will continue to help the things she cared about so much. Rest in peace Mum with your spirit among the trees. “The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit” (Nelson Henderson)

Mum, you know I'm always late and I've been a bit slack with my donations but you know that I'm always thinking of you and missing you. There's so much I want to share with you and so many questions I wished I'd asked - hopefully we'll end up in the same place together. Belated birthday and Christmas wishes.

Mum. Thinking of you on Mother's Day in Australia and thought I'd check how your grove of trees is doing and add to it. Next time I'm home (in the UK) I'll make sure I get to visit your trees and take some photos for you - though you can probably see it from where you are. I hope you can hear me when I talk to you from so far away. I wish I had spent more time listening to stories of your life from you as there are so many things I want to know but will never get the chance to ask. Sorry for that. I guess you always think there will be more time. Love always. Linda

Mum, thinking of you on Christmas Day. Christmas will never be the same without you - there will always be an empty space at the table that no one else could ever fill, but lots of happy memories of family Christmases past. I hope you’re having fun today up in the stars. As ever, I'll raise a glass to you tonight. With love Linda xxx

Happy birthday mum. I still can't believe that you are not here physically but I know you are with me always wherever I am. I will never stop missing you. I'm planting trees and shrubs here to help all the Australian wildlife too and can imagine you running in and out of the house with a big smile on your face excited at all the birds and animals. I wish you could have made it here for a visit. I'll raise my last glass of Atholl Brose to you tonight. I know you'd appreciate that too. Xx

To my other Mum who made us all feel part of the family. There are so many memories that you were part of and often helped made happen. The Sunday dinners and coffee & walnut cake were just part of the happy memories that you have given us. Your humour and sense of what is right will be missed. We are all better people for having you in our lives. Your leaving has left a big hole behind but the memories of you will live on in minds and in this grove. Love Andy, Vanessa, Alex & Nicola

Mum - these trees are just the start. Your grove will continue to grow and provide food and home for pine martens, red squirrels and other wildlife to flourish and live safely. I promise to take you there one day to share it with you. You have always been there for me, and will always be with me. Thank you for so many happy memories.
