Audlem in Bloom

As you may have noticed we have been cracking on with the refurbishment of the permanent beds throughout the village.

The end of the work is now in sight but there is still much to do. On Saturday and Sunday this weekend we shall be putting new top soil and plants into the permanent beds. We will be meeting at the Buttermarket at 10.30am on both Saturday and Sunday.

We have received some fabulous support from volunteers and had some fun along the way. If you have some time at the weekend and want to have the satisfaction of improving our village please join us ... don't forget to bring your spade and trowel!

Having refurbished the permanent beds we will then be taking out the tulips and pansies that have served us so well during the autumn, winter and early spring.

As we will be unable to guarantee a display by re-using the tulips next year we will be giving the pansies and tulip bulbs away to villagers on Saturday 17th May from 12noon at the Buttermarket. Please come and help yourself to whatever we manage to salvage. Please bring a plastic bag or two!

The tubs and troughs around the village will be emptied and prepared for the summer bedding plants on the Saturday 17th May from 10.30am. If you have a spare hour or two please come along and help.

On Sunday 18th May we have asked Brownies, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Guides to come along and help plant up the tubs and troughs throughout the village from 11am. If your child would like to come and help please let your leader know as soon as possible or email me direct on adascontact@gmail.com

We would love this to be a community event so we can all take pride in the work that has been done, so would encourage everyone to come along and help and don't forget to bring gardening tools with you!

I would also like to thank Jo and Allan of the Lord Combermere for generously providing tea and coffee for the workers.
