Beeston Fair

Here's our stall for Beeston Fair:

Were you there?

The Millenium Garden has the full beauty treatment.

Thank you, Leeds Ahead, for bringing us the volunteers from 'Homes and Communities Agency'! 
It rained all day, from drizzle to downpour, but we were not dejected.  We dug, pruned, pulled up, pulled down, planted and uprooted.  Altogether we put in over 100 hours into the Millennium Garden, the Watsonion windowbib and the pictorial border.  Unfortunately we're still waiting on the photos but they will be edited in when we get them!

Catch up

I'm playing catch-up again!

The daffs in the Dewsbury Road planters did well - keep an eye out for the geraniums that were put in this weekend.

Did you see this in the guardian? "The weedkiller saboteur in Cayton caused £20,000 worth of damage."

We got silver in the Yorkshire in Bloom spring judging - I don't know if we're pleased or disappointed!  The millennium garden were awarded gold, as did the Church gardens that Brian and Brian and Joy do, by Leeds in Bloom.

This is the pictorial garden being planted with a range of wild flowers.  The pictures are a couple of weeks old so maybe when I go to the meeting this evening, there will be something to show for all the hard work being done here:
