The summer bedding plants are on their way and Barwick in Bloom helpers will certainly be

kept occupied for the next couple of Wednesdays. You will have noticed that the flower

beds around the village have been lifted the spent blooms composted and the soil fertilised

in readiness for new plants. For the next two Wednesdays the “Bloomers” will be busy

planting 13,000 plants including a variety of geraniums, begonias, nicotiana and salvias. All

combined to make a fabulous display throughout the summer months. The hanging baskets

will be going up soon too planted with spectacular burgundy and blue vein Surfinias.

We always need help at this time so if you turn up at the post office on Wednesday at 9am

with a trowel there will be plenty of fun to be had.
