On Sunday 12th April, we will be working on replacing some of the perennials in the tubs and troughs with some different ones such as Gaura White Dove.

Subsequent session will be:

  • Wednesday 15th April, 17.30 to 19.00, meet at the Buttermarket
  • Sunday 19th April, 10.00 to 13.00, meet at the Buttermarket

Due to the established roots of the existing plants we will probably need to cut out the plants. Plants that are to remain will be replanted according to the supplied planting plan allowing space for the new plants when they arrive.

Tools required are, brushes, shovels, wheelbarrows, watering cans, and gardening tools that can cut through roots and compost bags..

If you have a vis-vest please bring it. If you don't have one, one will be provided.

New compost, peat free, will be placed in the village centre ready for use.

Please meet at the Buttermarket at 10.00.

The table below lists the current plants and plants for the 2026 Planting scheme which will be white, peach and purple.
