Snowdrops! Thank you everyone who helped

Thank you to all the many people, including a group of Beaver Scouts, children from The Whartons, and many others, who came to help us plant thousands of snowdrops in many places around Otley last weekend, including in the Town Centre, behind the Library, opposite The Junction, in our new garden at Craven Street, at the corner of Bremner Street and many other places too numerous to name. More planting is continuing until the end of the month. We should with any luck see our snowdrops beginning to flower next February – look out for them!

Pupils from The Whartons helping to plant snowdrops

Now we’ve had time to add it up, we think that 100 to 150 people helped us plant snowdrops – a Big Thank You to everyone who helped.

Spring flowers at Bremner Street

Today three Otley in Bloom members made the little garden at the corner of Bremner Street even better by planting a selection of spring flowering plants, mostly spares from our own gardens.  We cleared quite a bit of litter too (again).  It’s even more eye-catching now.  You might spot the flowers on the corner opposite Asda’s car park if you go along Pool Road.

Getting ready for Spring

Spring is nearly here, so Otley in Bloom have been doing some spring cleaning  – we’ve picked up litter from Bremner Street corner, around Myers Croft Beck, and at the garden outside HSBC, opposite the Post Office.  Edie and Jacquie also did some weeding and planted some more primulas in the HSBC garden, where the bulbs are already beginning to show their leaves.
