People of Note - Clare Gibbon

--:--
Undoubtedly, one of Cape Town’s most beautiful, tranquil gardens is the ARDERNE GARDENS in Claremont. With its shady glades, romantic nooks and Japanese style ponds it’s been a place for Cape Tonians to bring their children and relax away from the increasing hubbub of city life. A man whose name is inextricably linked to the Gardens is Hank Lith who devoted his time to curating the gardens and to getting them worldwide acknowledgement. Sadly Hank died suddenly earlier this year, so Rodney Trudgeon invited CLARE GIBBON, a founding member of the Friends of Arderne Gardens to talk about Hank’s legacy and to play music that was special to Hank.
