A very cold and frosty morning at the compound today. We pulled the last of the tomatoes and then tidied up the polytunnel. Our marigolds are still looking lovely. We dug up carrots and leeks for the Clydesdale Food Bank. We are at the end of our vegetable season now. This year we have donated 117lbs of food to the food bank. This is four times as much as we grew last year. Hopefully, we can grow even more next year.
We will be out over the next couple of weeks planting bulbs for the spring, so give us a wave if you see us.

The team have been busy today. Gavin and Dicky were out with the van bringing in the hanging baskets and railing planters from the loch and roundabout. They couldn’t get near the baskets and planters at Morrison’s and Valerios because of all the roadworks.
While the men were out, the rest of the team were busy digging up carrots, leeks, beets and turnips for the food bank. So far this year we have donated almost 100 lbs in weight of veg, which is a phenomenal amount for such a small group.
We managed to empty a lot of the baskets and planters and have saved Dahlia bulbs and fuschias for next year.
The team will be at the railway station on Wednesday morning with the crew from CCI.

This week weve been busy working at the compound. Dicky and Gavin have been riddling and bagging up some of the compost from our big compost bins and the compost looks lovely. Maureen has been tidying up some of the plants we are bringing on for next year. Valerie and Margaret have been tidying up the compound and getting rid of some rubbish that has been gathering for a while. This week we donated tomatoes, leeks, spring onions, carrots, potatoes and beetroot to the food bank.

Our first crop of veg for the food bank was looking really good today. We are donating 27 lbs of potatoes, leeks, spring onion, green beans, beetroot and turnips. We were given a marrow and turnips from a kind lady who has a veg box at CCI as well. Still plenty of veg to come.

The team got a bit wet at the compound today, but still managed to fill lots of bags with riddled compost from one of our compost bins. It’s looking really good quality.
Everything is growing well in the veg beds. Our leeks and spring onions are looking really good and our corn looks about ready. This was a trial to see if we could grow corn at the compound. Next year we aim to plant a full bed of corn. The tomatoes are coming along well too.

Lanark in Bloom would like to thank Stuart and the team from Silverbirch Garden Centre for their kind donation of wooden tables. With a little bit of tlc, they will be perfect for our plants and hanging baskets. It is so nice to have the support of local businesses.

We were busy last week w**ding at the loch and planting a few more flowers in the beds. Gavin and Dicky took the bowser out and watered the loch, Morrison’s etc. Thankfully we have had a little rain so the hanging baskets and planters are doing quite well. Maureen has done a power of work w**ding at the compound and we planted more salad veg in an empty bed.

27/07/2026

Another productive morning for the team today. We started off at the roundabout with some volunteers from CCI. We planted the beds with begonias, antirrhinums and marigolds. Although some of the begonias are small at the moment, they should take off over the next couple of weeks and add lots of colour to the roundabout. It was great working with CCI and again shows how much more we can get done with just a few extra bodies.
Afterwards Gavin and Dicky went round with the water bowser and watered the roundabout, hanging baskets and railing planters. They are planning to go back out later in the week, but may not need to if the rain that’s forecast comes.
Valerie, Lisa, Margaret and Maureen went back up to the compound and watered the tomatoes etc. We also tackled the never ending job of w**ding and tidying the compound. We still have some more plants to put in at the loch later.

LIB wishes to say a heartfelt “thank you” to Walter and his wonderful volunteers from Castlebank Park Horticulture Centre, for all their help today at St Kentigern’s roundabout. This was a great example of two local groups working together for the good of the town. Having a decent number of people made very short work of what had been a big job for the LIB team. It just makes you realise what we could achieve if we had a few more volunteers.
Afterwards a couple of us visited the horticulture Centre to buy a few plants for the beds at the roundabout. They have a lovely selection of plants for sale.
The team will be back at the roundabout on Monday with a small group from CCI, to plant up the beds now they’ve been filled with new compost.

20/07/2026

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the team. Last week we did a lot of tidying up at the compound. The “Golden Girls” were out working at the braes and we were out early morning / late evening with the water bowser watering the hanging baskets and planters.
Today the team started our big job at the roundabout. We are w**ding and emptying the planters. We will lift all our bulbs and clear out most of the old compost, put down w**d suppressant and fill with new compost. We will then put in the saved bulbs and plant up with begonias etc.
We have made the decision to dig out the rose bushes that were planted for the late Queen’s Jubilee. They’ve never really been happy in the planters. We will give them some tlc and replant them in a different area.
We will be back out at the roundabout on Thursday. I’m delighted to say that we will be joined by Walter and some of his lovely volunteers from Castlebank Park, who have kindly offered to help us with this huge task.
