About Beth
If you are reading this you have probably visited Beth’s Field. Gradually, we are working to make this haven more beautiful, just as Beth did on her beloved allotment. Beth held a great love of the natural world and was very creative, so she not only grew produce there, but planted trees and flowers too. It was a place she spent many precious hours and loved to share.
Her favourite colour was pink, so please enjoy her pink bench and think of her as you sit there. We feel her with us here - perhaps you will too.
A winner of The John Clare Prize for Poetry, Beth’s poetry and art can be enjoyed in her book Panacea Poetry.
You can read a little more about how the book came to be in Sarah’s blog here.

From Beth’s poem ‘Oasis’ *
From the murky-grey toxicity of a polluted concrete jungle,
-where poverty, sickness, conflict & crime are siblings to one another-
a thought becomes a prayer;
the whisper of a healing revolution on the air.
A collaboration of creative hands transform deficient earth into rich soil.
The challenge of dedication & effort despite difficulty
does not compare to the desolation of abandoning hope.
