Ian lived in Zeals with his wife Diana, and was a well known gardener.  Sadly he died suddenly of a massive heart attack in July 2018, despite the best efforts of air ambulance crew.

In memory of Ian we are very fortunate to announce that Charlotte Rowe MSGD, who is an internationally acclaimed, award winning garden designer, including Gold at Chelsea, is coming to St Martin’s Church, Zeals to give a talk.  Charlotte has worked on many urban designs and rural projects in both the UK and abroad, from Manhattan to Morocco.  Her work has featured on TV, in newspapers, magazines and specialist books.  As well as giving talks in Great Britain, Charlotte has also lectured in Europe, Australia and America.

Charlotte is giving her time for free and all the proceeds from the evening will be divided equally between the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and The Friends of St Martin’s Church.

Joining us will be Phil Merritt, helicopter pilot from Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and he will give a short talk, with slides, on the work of these incredible emergency rescue teams.

We do hope you will join us in what we are certain will be a memorable evening.

Tickets £10 each will be available from January at Zeals Motors or
