This week we had to make an appeal on Social Media site ‘facebook’ for volunteers to remove some of the many geraniums that the Friends planted in the Civilian Garden of Remembrance. No sooner said than done as two of our supporters stepped up to the plate and the job was done.(In freezing conditions)
We had hoped to try and keep the Geraniums over winter as the garden area is pretty sheltered- but we hadn’t banked on the -10 temperatures just before Christmas. All that was left of the glorious Geraniums was brown mush and not an attractive sight!
Thank you Vanessa and Tricia.
With the two FBEC benches restored with the help of a generous donation from Becketts Farm Community Fund Token Scheme, the Hawthorne Hedge trimmed in size and tidied by our BCC Ground Maintenance friends and now the 4 FBEC maintained ‘rose’ and 2 round beds tided ready for Spring by loyal FBEC gardening volunteers – this special area is looking better than ever. Congratulations and thanks to all concerned.
