Commonwealth War Graves Commission

The first speaker of our 2026 season is Cyrus Goodger, who will give members an insight into the work done by the Commission. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is a global leader in commemoration. They have 23,000 locations in 150 countries, managing and caring for memorials, cemeteries and headstones, some of which are over a century old. Something that may escape individuals attention is how the CWGC is probably the largest horticultural operation worldwide encompassing all of the worlds ecosystems and climates each with their unique challenges. So make sure you attend this event to learn more!
