The younger members of the Growing Well team got busy yesterday cleaning up some troughs that had been donated by a neighbour who no longer needs them. Getting stuck in with brushes and water they worked hard for a whole five minutes before Mummy had to step in and finish off! The troughs now look brand new and are destined for the Old School Hall car park at the bottom of the street. The lovely ladies at the Marie Curie office are going to plant them up with nasturtiums which will creep through the fence and tumble down the wall into Well Street. They are also taking two large pots which they will fill with strawberries and tomatoes for lunchtimes.
Not wanting to leave out the other charity which resides in Well Street, a generous neighbour has bought a lovely new window box for the Samaritans office at the top end of the street.
In both cases the staff and volunteers at the charity offices will "adopt" the planters, watering and maintaing them, and even providing some of the plants. So we have been able to involve people who work in Well Street, as well as those of us who live here.
