Thanks to the following organisations and individuals for bringing our park to life this past year:

Park Photography

Akilipix – Francesca McKenna: Francesca has created a full year’s worth of extraordinary photography for Friends of Cannizaro Park as our official photographer. Her broad expertise as a strong visual arts & media professional with years of experience in science, journalism and academic publishing, arts and advertising has enabled her to capture the beauty of the landscape and events, visually interpreting our aims in restoring the park for the benefit of the community

Richard True is a long standing gardening volunteer with a particular interest in trees. He has helped create the tree section of our website, providing both copy and detailed tree photography.

• Wimbledon Books and Coombe Stationers for providing raffle prizes for the Nature Weekend
• All The Friends of Cannizaro Park, whose membership subscriptions are an invaluable source of funds for park projects
• Our donors, whose generosity has enabled us to fund the rose garden renovation, including buying 54 tonnes of new topsoil as well as all the new plants. We received £14,768 in donations this year
• WPCC, who drove the vehicles that moved those 54 tonnes of topsoil as near as possible to the rose garden
