News headlines since then...
- Bury St Edmunds received a GOLD award in the Best Large Town category in the Britain in Bloom competition.
- Growing Well received a nomination for Best Community Project in the "It's Your Neighbourhood" section.
- Growing Well also received a Level 4 (out of 5) award in our "It's Your Neighbourhood" assessment.
- Our new planters have been installed on the "build out" at the bottom of the street and now look colourful, fresh and inviting (in contrast to the builders' vans that otherwise park there). A very happy bee has already been spotted enjoying nectar from the daffodils.
Potential projects for this season include
- Helping to tidy up and improve the yard at Old Kingdom Hall on Short Brackland - which is home to the CfBT Education Trust who educate and support children who have fallen out of mainstream education. Volunteers, pots, compost and plants all needed!
- "Bug house" building in the Easter holidays for the children
- Helping once again to prepare Well Street for "Judging Day" when the Anglia in Bloom judges visit town. There was a great sense of achievement within the group for how much we managed to do to make the street look extra gorgeous on the day.
