Hitchin Cemetery Jan-Mar 2025
Hitchin Cemetery Jan-Mar 2025 In 2015 the Countryside Management Service put on a course in Hitchin Cemetery in hedge maintenance with a professional topiarist who had trained in Japan. One aim was to consider the cemetery as a whole and create a unifying theme of curved shapes and one of the techniques studied was that of cloud topiary and below is a rather splendid example, all credit to our leader Veronica's efforts over the past nine years. It was shortly after the course that the Friends of Hitchin Cemetery started life and we look forward to celebrating our tenth anniversary next year. The Friends group are very pleased with the brand new short guide to the cemetery created by Caroline of the Countryside Management Service working for North Herts Council. This leaflet has some details about how to find the cemetery and what can be seen there, and can be downloaded from the council website here: https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/doc/env/cms/conservation...
