Five volunteers out today working on our six barrier baskets at the Library and on Station Lane corner. We removed summer bedding, planted a few more dwarf daffodils and a few snowdrops. Then we addef winter bedding. A good job done 👍 We will overwinter the pelargoniums plus a few others, then replant next year.

Exciting news today for Blooming Birtley. We have been chosen by Dobbies, Birtley to be the beneficiary of their community gardening award this year. We have been given credit to spend in store, on plants and any sundry items we need. This is going to make a positive difference to our planting. Look out for more colour from new plants in the next few months. Four of us were able to attend today and receive the award from manager Mike. Thank you so much to Dobbies Birtley for supporting us this year. Very much appreciated 😊

Thank you so much to Steve Robinson, heating engineer, who runs a Birtley based business. He made a cash donation to Blooming Birtley whilst working at one of our volunteers homes. So kind and very much appreciated 😊 It just goes to show that there are some very generous and community minded residents who appreciate the time and effort put in by volunteers.
