RESIDENTS are being invited to learn about the unique challenges of maintaining war cemeteries across the world at an upcoming meeting of Mauchline Horticultural and Agricultural Society.
The group's November meeting will feature a talk by Terry Wright, a volunteer speaker with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Entitled "Gardening the Globe", the presentation will explore the inspiration behind the original design of war cemeteries, the impact of climate change on their upkeep and how horticultural practices are adapted to suit different locations around the world.
The event will take place in Dunlop Hall at Mauchline Parish Church on Thursday, November 19, starting at 7.30pm.
Organisers say the talk will provide an insight into the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the efforts involved in preserving and maintaining sites of remembrance across the globe.
The meeting is open to everyone, with tea, coffee and a raffle taking place at the end of the evening.
