context_page_description: Rose Garrard is an installation, video and performance artist, sculptor, and author.

context_section_description: Garrard became heavily involved with the restoration of the local springs and the history of Malvern, Worcestershire, and her research carried out in 2006 demonstrated for the first time that well dressing has been part of the tradition in the Malvern area since the 12th and 13th centuries. In 2001, she began organising the well dressing campaign in Malvern which has become an annual event with over 28 wells being dressed. 
  
  As an author, Garrard has written three books based on Malvern, including two about aspects of the springs, and A Malvern Treasury published in 2010, that was written on the recommendation of a local bookshop, Beacon Books, due to previous comprehensive histories of the town by other authors being out of print.
