Planting and clean up – Tuesday 6th June 2017

Jun 8, 2017 | Village Enhancement Team

Despite the blustery weather the VETs worked yesterday to add Summer colour to the various planters around the village. The colour scheme for this year is  blues and yellows and we planted Dwarf Sunflowers, Dwarf Cornflowers, two types of Salvia, Malva, Cineraria, Tagetes and Ageratum.

The majority of the plants were grown from seed by Barbara Buckley and Neil Rugg who have been nursing hundreds of plants for weeks so a  very big thank you to them. As the volunteers worked there was much cheerful conversation  and support  from passersby but the highlight was the delivery of piping hot Cornish Pasties hand made by The Pod company based at Gallows Park. They were delicious.Thank you for that very kind gesture.
