ADAS planting this week

On Monday this week we planted The Lord Combermere shrubbery bed with a range of shrubs. Our reasoning for this move is that with the mature trees there, the use of summer bedding is not successful in the fight for moisture amidst the tangle of tree roots.

The list of plants is as follows for those with an interest in such matters:

• Hebe Green Globe
• Spirea Arguta
• Syringa Meyerii
• Fuschia Lady Thumb
• Fuschia Riccatoni
• Lavatera Clementii Barnsley Babe
• Cissus Alan Frado
• Prostanthera Ovalifolium Var
• Potentilla Fruticosa Tangerine
• Potentilla Fruiticosa Abbotswood
• Lavender Munsted
• Cytisus Praecox Albus
• Spirea Japonica Golden Princess
• Philadelphus Belle Etoille

We sourced all these from the excellent stocks of Bridgemere. We hope that all will be pleased with our work for the village.

The summer planting of tubs and baskets will follow in early June as all has been delayed in growing by the cold weather.

Acting Chairman ADAS.
