Evesham sculptor's snowdrops honour loved ones at Worcester's Hive

Evesham Editorial 17th Aug, 2024 Updated: 18th Aug, 2024   0

HANDCRAFTED snowdrops by an Evesham artist have been installed in Worcester in memory and celebration of loved ones.

Some 900 snowdrop sculptures were planted in lawns around The Hive to form St Richard’s Hospice’s Celebration Garden.

The charity is now in its 40th year of caring for patients across the county.

Laura Clarke, hospice campaigns fundraiser, said: “It is wonderful to see our sea of swaying snowdrops in place by The Hive. They look so beautiful.

“Our Celebration Garden offers a memorable focal point in the heart of the city for anyone to come and spend some time reflecting on precious memories of loved ones.

“Snowdrops are very special to us at the hospice because of the hope that they symbolise when they break ground each year, reminding us that brighter days are coming.”




You can donate and take a snowdrop home as a keepsake or gift.

Each snowdrop is made by Ed Alvis, of Metal Art UK, at his workshop near Evesham.


The flowers will be on display until Monday, August, 26.
