Helen Cloke

With a lifelong passion for the arts and a professional background in horticulture and landscape design, Helen sees her involvement with the Percy Thomson Trust as a meaningful way to share her talents and give back to the community where she was raised.

Helen's focus within the Trust is to continue developing the arboretum, strengthening it through the cultivation of volunteer relationships and the planning of future projects.

She lives in Stratford with her husband, teenage daughter, and two energetic Jack Russells, in a charming old house surrounded by a large garden. When she's not expressing her creativity outdoors, she enjoys spending time in her craft room, sewing or stitching.
