Can you help on Tidy Tuesday?

For the time being, we have added a couple of extra tidy Tuesdays, our next two will be 7th and 21st May, meeting at 10.00 at the Park Gates. There is lots to do especially since we will soon need to empty all the barrier troughs and replant them for summer. We would welcome any extra help, so please come along if you can lend a hand.

Exciting new Projects!

Pudsey In Bloom have some exciting new projects in the pipeline...so watch this space. As usual they will rely on us getting precious funding that we have been busy applying for. It has been confirmed that we have been granted funding again this year from LCC, Well-being funding is awarded by local ward members through the West (outer) area committee and will allow us once again to provide the wonderful floral displays on the town hall and the leisure centre. We also have two other applications in the pipeline, and if successful, we hope to create a lovely space in a sadly neglected piece of ground in the leisure centre car park, this is what it looks like now: But not for long hopefully...updates to follow.

Spring Judging cancelled!

Yorkshire In Bloom have announced today that the spring round of the Yorkshire In Bloom competition has been cancelled due to the adverse weather ...follow this link to read the whole story:

As a group we are disappointed as we really feel this spring would have been our best display to date, however as our judging date was to be 12th April we can understand how groups due to be judged earlier will feel.

What an improvement!

Back in November, I wrote that we had `earmarked` some money left over from our area management (wellbeing) funding to spruce up the black flower tubs that were looking very neglected in front of the leisure centre, and I am pleased to report that on Sunday some of the group did just that, with a superb result! Thanks again to Lynda for sourcing the wonderful display of plants and to everyone who helped out! I am sure you will agree that the finished result looks fantastic!

BEFORE

Tidy Tuesday!

The new year is off to a good start and we are busy planning for the year ahead. How about joining us on Tidy Tuesdays? A new idea- we plan a regular session the first Tuesday of each month starting in March, to do a general tidy, dead heading, planting etc. If you have an hour to spare we would welcome your help. We will meet at the park gates at 10.00, just bring along your own hand tools. Many hands make light work, and there is lots to do. Hope to see you one of these tuesdays.

 

Two new sponsors.

We have 2 new businesses supporting us by sponsoring flower troughs. Just fixed the transfers in place today, a bit wild and windy...but the job`s done. Thanks to Whitegates and Over the Rainbow Fancy dress hire for their valued support, look out for the new signs next time you are in the town centre.

Some welcome publicity.
