New Sponsor on board plus new look planting in the tubs

Thank you to Jayne at Patisserie Fresto and her dad for their support, money donated towards our projects and sponsorship of a trough, much appreciated!

We also have some new look Autumn planting going on in our flower tubs, they are looking lovely and seasonal. Thanks Lynda!

Community Talks

We had a lovely time a couple of weeks ago giving a talk to Pudsey Parish Church Mother`s Union about our group. 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.

We have some new sponsors on board.

Many thanks to the following new sponsors for supporting the group, we hope you benefit from the advertising as much as we will from your contribution.

Prepare for summer colour!

There has been lots of group activity over the past couple of weeks preparing for lots of summer colour. 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.

 

 

The newly acquired bowser will also be put into full use over the summer months, who needs the gym with this work-out. Group members will be on a rota so everyone gets a turn!

 



Beautiful Spring Colour

Before spring beauty leaves us for another year, let`s remember the colourful display the tulips give everyone at Sparrow Park:

Wildflower beds.

In conjunction with LCC Parks Dept. we have sown a wildflower area in the park. 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.

Yorkshire In Bloom Judging

Our Spring Judging for the YIB competition took place on Tuesday 5th April, here are a few pictures from before the date, all hands on deck, although a decent job seemed to have been done by `Locality` of LCC, and also thank to The Pudsey Litter Pick Party.
 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.
