Sunday 12 November 2023
Thank you to the volunteers who joined Leigh outside the 119-129 flats on Horton Road Sunday 12th, it was a very grey November day. Leigh applied for funding via the councils Estate Development Budget to pay for plants to extend the already existing and wonderfully successful flowerbed. You may have spotted it in the summer, at the top of Horton Road.
Lots of giggles were had planting by numbers
Yes, we actually planted by numbers!! using a supplied selection of plants and placement roll from an amazing company called ‘Garden on a roll‘. Plus we shared some deliciously home baked chocolate cookies and fresh apple juice. The only challenge was planting on the slope! Leigh choose a ‘Sensory Border’ and a ‘English Cottage Garden Border’ at 2 metres long per bed with 20 plants in total. We all enjoyed the company, fresh air and the satisfaction of a good job done. Watch this space to see how it grows.
