Among all of those who have shaped The Hidden Gardens, few have influenced its story as significantly as our Chief Executive. After sixteen years at The Hidden Gardens, Amanda is moving on, and we want to express our sincere thanks for everything she has contributed.
From the beginning, Amanda has been a steady and caring guide, someone who truly believed in what The Hidden Gardens stands for. Her wholehearted belief in the power of this space to bring peace, inspiration, and belonging to everyone who walked through the gates has been at the heart of everything.
Throughout Amanda’s time with the gardens she has been a consistent and supportive presence, helping to guide the organisations’ development and championing the importance of this space for everyone who visits and takes part in our programmes. So many wonderful events, projects, and collaborations have happened over the years, and a huge part of that has been Amanda’s dedication and hard work.
Amanda’s commitment to both the gardens and the people who make up our community has played a significant role in shaping what The Hidden Gardens is today. We are deeply grateful for their leadership and wish them every success in the next chapter. The team, with colleagues and friends, held a small celebratory gathering to wish Amanda well on her onward journey! We look forward to welcoming her back as honoured visitor in the near future.
