Our aim is to make Pudsey a more attractive place for residents and visitors and to encourage everyone to take pride in their environment. Along the way we would like to improve on the permanent planting and aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible. 2008 was our first entry in the Yorkshire In Bloom Competition and we won SILVER!

Having been involved with Pudsey In Bloom since it first started back in 2003, and seen its development and the continued commitment of its members and wonderful supporters, now, I feel is the time to concentrate on posting news to our website and Face book page.<br />
So, Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to follow our news via this blog, in future please go to:<br />

I know I share the thoughts of the rest of the group along with many Pudsey folk in saying this is well deserved and a true recognition of all the hard work our members contribute in making Pudsey interesting and attractive. Many thanks to all our sponsors, friends and supporters!<br />

Pudsey was looking bright and colourful, the troughs are coming along nicely with their summer plants, the wild flower area in the park entrance looks and smells great, and the new planters along lidget hill and next to the display boards have transformed this area !<br />

I have fallen behind a bit with updating our blog, but am pleased to announce that now we also have a fantastic new website, so there are two places where you can follow us and catch up on our news. I have to say that the website will be more up to date, thanks to the magnificent efforts of our chair lady Margaret supported by Barbara our vice chair.<br />
Can`t believe it`s February already! Our tidy Tuesdays will be starting up in earnest from March, although they have been `ticking over` quite nicely over the last few months even though some have been social gatherings to keep everyone in touch.<br />
Our `Friends` are growing and it`s lovely that we have so much support in the local community, please download our Friends form if you would like to give your support.<br />
Our monthly meetings started in January, and will be the last Thursday of the month through to October at the leisure centre.<br />
Our next fund raising event will be on Saturday 25th February when we are holding a coffee morning at Pudsey House, please come and support us if you can.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Happy Gardening to you all, more news to follow, and please check out our brand new website for lots of lovely photos, updates and news. <a href="http://www.pudseyinbloom.co.uk/">http://www.pudseyinbloom.co.uk</a><br />

We met some lovely ladies and made quite a few new `friends`. Everyone was very supportive and it was a lovely afternoon. We have now given two talks to local groups and have received requests to do more. It`s such a good way to meet local people and tell them about our work.<br />

It`s that time of the year again- out with the old and in with the new, old plants being recycled to make way for summer bedding. The troughs are being replanted with a mixture of Begonia, petunia, lobelia, tagetes, marguerite and asters.<br />

The ground was prepared and children from Southroyd school helped to sow the seed. Fingers crossed we will have a lovely swathe of colour in a couple of months.<br />

All seemed to go well, and we will be visited again in July for summer judging. The final results will not be known until September, we will keep you posted. Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way.<br />

Here is a pictorial catch up, mostly work carried out in the library square, and many thanks to the Masons, lodge of Benevolence of Pudsey for their kind donation towards improving this area. <br />
Oh, and once you visit it, if you are in a quandary as in which direction to go next then<br />
take a look at our sign post, that will be sure to confuse you!<br />

We now have our first news letter and it outlines all the work we are involved in and keeps our friends up to date.<br />
We would love to have more friends, so if you are interested in sponsoring us and would like to receive our newsletter, then please drop us an email or ask us when we are out and about in Pudsey, you will usually spot one of us on a Tuesday morning.<br />
Thanks!<br />

Pudsey In Bloom were happy to help out once again this year and provide a home for the annual Christmas tree. Well done to Pudsey business group for getting it in place. Hope tomorrow night goes with a swing and is well supported.<br />

The photograph below shows Margaret our chair along with some of our members accepting the cheque from the Worshipful Master of the Lodge of Benevolence. The lovely photo was taken by Peter Holdsworth, the Masons photographer. Afterwards we were honoured and pleased to be treated to a visit to the Masonic Hall on Church Lane, it was a super afternoon. The money will be used to provide attractive planters in the library square.<br />
