I love visiting Camelia Botner if I'm down that way. I still have a beautiful wrought iron obelisk I bought from there. I bought that particular one as it was very slightly out of line but whoever made it did so with love and will have learned more from creating it. Such an inspirational place for young disadvantaged people.
CBF changed my life, changed my attitude, changed me in so many ways, what this place offers to young adults is something special indeed. Even after leaving there almost 30 years ago, I still have fond memories. Keep up the good work. Remember kids, what you put in is only fraction of what you get back.
This is an inspirational place, lovely garden centre and cafe too!
