We have three large landscape areas on the main street that goes through our village, which have very little or nothing growing in them. We want to plant them up with some perennials and herbaceous shrubs to inject a fusion of all year round cheerfulness and colour. By planting these beds with a wonderful visual display we hope to improve the areas and raise residents’ spirits by bringing smiles to their face whilst viewing the landscaped areas. Our project will entail preparing the land, improving the soil, laying down weed suppressant membrane, planting up some colourful perennials & herbaceous shrubs and covering the rest of the membrane with slate or bark chippings. We also want to purchase two seats made from recyclable materials to offer people the opportunity to sit back, take a break and look at the views.
