Being a Memorial Museum, it’s not surprising that the Memorial Garden is the corner stone of our mission at the Spitfire Museum. The Allied Air Crew Memorial Garden, to use its proper name, is dedicated to all the men and women who fell in defence of the Allied nations during the Second World War.
It is, however, still a garden, and like any garden it needs regular attention to make sure it’s in peak condition for when we hold services (Channel Dash, Battle of Britain and Remembrance Sunday) and it’s thanks to our gardens volunteers that the gardens are in great shape.
Volunteering in the gardens includes a a number of tasks ranging from the, rather unglamorous, yet vital, task of weeding and watering to fixing the Museum’s Flag poles so that we proudly fly our flags, and everything in between. Often, our gardens volunteers have an eclectic mix of skills including electrics, carpentry and plumbing which they routinely put to use to help maintain the museum as well as the gardens.
Donations are very gratefully received. Not only because they let us know that we enjoy the support and interest of our visitors but also because, like many charities, we can claim Gift Aid support which could add an additional 20% to our donated income.
