Planting workshop 14th November
Many thanks to Sarah Peacock who ran a great bulb planting workshop on 14th November. We planted mixed daffodils inside the pots and topped them off with pansies. Some of the pots can be seen outside block 16-23 Buxhall Crescent and on the steps of the Community Centre. The nature walk was postponed due to terrible weather and will take place in February, details to follow. Also many thanks to James Robertshaw for the photographs. www.jamesrobertshawphotography.com
