Happy Easter!

An interesting photo.

I noticed that someone had posted an old picture on facebook of what would have been Job Ross`s old tripe premises at the edge of Lowtown Garden, truly fitting then that his old tripe preparation baths are now situated here, thanks to a joint effort from ourselves and the civic society to preserve them, thought you might be interested to see this old photo, I don`t think this is the original building but it definitely pre-dates the one there now:



Happy New Year!

We have all had a well earned break over Christmas, but are now back up and ready to run for 2015!
If you would like to join us then please come along to our first meeting of 2015 , we are a very friendly group. The first meeting is on Thursday 29th January starting at 6pm at Pudsey leisure centre, subsequent meetings are the last Thursday of the month (through to July)...same place ...same time. Check the News section to the left of the blog for updates and dates of planting sessions etc.

All for the love of Pudsey...

We were asked by the Pudsey business community group if they could hijack one of the planters at the top of the market steps to plant Pudsey`s very own Christmas tree...we were more than happy to oblige, so for a short while it`s out with the plants and in with the festive cheer...lights to follow before the switch on this week:

A bit of TLC for the tripe baths.

The Civic Society have kindly offered to do some restoration work on our famous tripe bath planters in Lowtown garden. Over the years their condition has deteriorated and cracks have appeared in them which without attention will only get worse. So as we have been busy this last week emptying all the troughs and planters in readiness for autumn/winter planting, we took the opportunity to empty the tripe baths and hopefully over the next couple of weeks they will be given a spruce up and can then be replanted, and will then last for many more years to come.:

Featured in the October issue of Yorkshire Life!

A great article has been published in the Yorkshire life all about our group and the work we do, along with some colourful pictures. Grab a copy if you can to read for yourself.

Time to take stock...

We had a site meeting today to walk around all the areas we maintain and to plan for the year ahead...lots of lovely colour along the way, and friendly faces too!
