Former Quaker burial ground, St Albans, Hertfordshire, August 2024
This garden has been created as part of a recent residential development in St Albans. The ground was a Quaker burial ground, originally purchased by the Quakers (Religious Society of Friends) in 1676 with its last burial in 1869. The land was then rented out to the local council, and in recent years had been a garden in front of the former police station.
This redesign, completed in 2024, was carried out in conjunction with the local Quakers and is now a beautiful and peaceful spot open to all.
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Lovely garden to honor the Quakers laid at rest. I have a silly six today from a road sign: https://fakeflamenco.com/2024/08/24/at-this-junction-the-pain-starts/

I have a place of contemplation and peace today, also. These flowers are part of the Healing Garden at one of our public gardens.
