Mick Merrill
Mick Merrill, retired chairman of Ward End Gardeners Association, has passed away.
Mr Merrill was an Honorary Life Vice President of the National Allotment Society and attended the AGM in June 2022.
Mick was a long-serving member of Ward End Gardeners Association and was remembered by secretary Hester Blewitt as ‘active right to the end with us as well as the NAS and Birmingham District Allotments Confederation,
and a wonderful gardener who always had time to pass on tips and words of encouragement to new people, and get involved in all our activities.’ She added ‘we’ll miss him hugely.’
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
