Our Annual Report

2022 was another busy year for All Hallows Guild. Flower Mart returned in all of its glory (despite the wet weather), we continued the conservation of the Bishop's Garden's medieval stonework, we held a Garden Day celebration in September, and we continued to identify and fund work in the Cathedral's gardens and grounds so that they will remain a haven of peace and a source of inspiration for all of those who visit - either in-person or virtually.
