Wheelie blooming!

Can you see me?
I spent an enjoyable afternoon at the Scout HQ helping get it ready for Ware in Bloom.

Shere Khan from Herons was co-ordinating the planting, the window baskets, the newly planted beds and the wheel barrows.

She has bought and grown lots of bedding plants for us to use and Badger was very handy at fixing things to the walls (and roof!) and clearing spaces for the large beds.

This is the stage 1 of a long term project, with each section helping to tend and water the plants on the evening they meet. Shere Khan will fill you in with more details if you need them.

Wheel barrows

There are more plans a foot for next year with even more projects and hopefully even more of the Group taking part as time allows.

Awaiting my instructions.

In the meantime please enjoy our display when you next visit the HQ, but remember that a Scout should show respect to property and is trusted and so I am trusting all our members to take care of the plants and take responsibility for ensuring they are not picked, trodden on, fallen into during games or any other such misfortunes!

Making my selection.
Any offers of help or donations of plants, gardening equipment, compost etc should be directed via Shere Khan. If you don't how to contact her please post a comment here and I will let her know.
