Yesterday's task was to spread four tonne bags of compost around Oriental Garden. Under the supervision of our fabulous Graeme (aka James Blunt for those watching the traitors! 😂) our volunteers made light work of it!
This is a perfect time to give your plants a blanket of compost - it gives protection over the winter and also suppresses weeds. We're also going to planting drought resistant plants under the lime trees in a few weeks.

We announced the winners of our wheelbarrow competition in August and this week, we handed over the trophies.

Well done to
- Hilton Lodge Care Home won the public vote shield, and;
- 52 Artillery Park who won the overall winners' cup, judged by an independent non-Bloom committee member.

This year's theme was 'Communication' and all entrant rose to the challenge creating amazing wheelbarrows / planters, such a diverse collection. It was a joy to judge. Thank you to everyone who took part.

We will be running the competition again next year, not sure what the theme will be yet - need to get our thinking caps on.
The theme will be announced in February.

We hope others will join in next year. Remember you don't need a wheelbarrow, any sort planter will do.

It's nearly time to say 'farewell' to the hanging baskets. We've stopped watering to let them dry out before they are taken down in the next fortnight. Thanks to all our team for watering over the summer - three times per week!
We will also be replacing the bedding plants in our planters with winter bedding soon.
We always welcome new volunteers, no gardening experience needed. Get in touch.
