“Thank for for celebrating the Moon Festival with us”. By Hsin-Ling Liang on behalf of all of us

We had such a lovely evening on 21 September - perfect weather - and so many people of all ages enjoying the garden. From the local Chinese-descent community but also the wider garden community. We had baking, calligraphy, dancing, flute playing, lantern-making, moon-cake eating, gardening, parachute flying, singing, tea drinking. But most of all people coming together and making new friends.
