November tasks
On 1st November we had two tasks to do.
Some of us worked at Bremner Street doing some pruning, including cutting back an oversized prickly shrub that was growing out over the pavement.
Others started on a new project, helping to improve the garden at the front of the Fire Station beside Sainsburys. They planted up a tub of Fiery plants (I think the names are fiery, not the actual plants), and removed loads of elder and brambles from the rose garden. More is planned – watch this space.
A talk at Bridge Street Church
Mary and Carole gave a very informative presentation to ladies at Bridge Street Church on the work and projects Otley in Bloom takes part in.
Recycling plants at the allotment
This week a few volunteers did some work at the Otley in Bloom allotment. Here’s what they said about it:
Had a good morning in the wind at the allotment – much tidier, weed free and things potted up. Nice cup of coffee at waitrose after to reward ourselves.
A few of us tidied up the allotment this morning, weeded, planted up spare barrier plants etc. There are primulas, heuchera, grasses, small trees, shrubs, geraniums and many more, they are there for recycling, using around town when we need replacements. Thanks to Edie, Evelyn, Leonie and Jacquie for helping and sharing a nice social afterwards at Waitrose.
