Thanks to Sponsorship from Northern we took delivery of Summer plants on Wednesday 27th May 2026 and by Friday 29th May 2026 our small but dedicated team of gardeners (they are always looking for more volunteers, so feel free to contact us if you would like to get involved) had replanted all the planters on the platforms ready for the summer blooming season.
