The flowers on the backs of the willow bike riders at the fire station have been renewed, and a few adjustments made to the bikes.
We also replanted the square wooden planters in Orchardgate behind the bus station for Autumn.
And Jacquie replanted the green bicycle outside the library too.
Recently we tidied the planters in the layby on Birdcage Walk, and added a few more plants to brighten them up as they had suffered in the winter flooding there.
We also weeded and tidied the big flowerbed at the bottom of Granville Terrace, which is getting much more light after a tree was felled there.
We repainted the green wooden planters around town. We had some new volunteers this time, and got the job done in an hour.
And we fettled some of the others (in case you’re puzzled, fettling is a old Yorkshire word meaning putting something to rights, making it just right, in fact putting it into “fine fettle”.) So in this case it meant taking out dead plants, picking out litter, trimming and tidying as required.
And afterwards we had coffee and some delicious flapjack – thanks Katie!
Jacquie’s tidied up the flowerbed by the Chippendale statue and there are some hellebores and other spring plants flowering there.
We’ve given the square wooden planters around Otley a spring clean and added some Spring flowers. It took quite a gang of us to do this as there are quite a few planters to look after. The sun shone and we enjoyed planting some bright primulas and generally tidying up.
