Planters and flower beds
This hot summer is providing a huge challenge to IMAGE which has worked hard to improve the environment by planting trees and replacing old planters with new.
These need to be watered and protected. It has not been possible to save some plants and trees from the incessant heat and one shrub by the noticeboard has been attacked by vine weevils.
We simply don't have enough people to cope with the extreme demands of the conditions of this summer.
This has been discussed over the last two or three months and unless we can recruit more active volunteers, we will need to sub-contract the tasks and will need funding via the Community Council to do so. Failing this support, the environment will certainly be less attractive in future.
Can anybody help? We need people willing to plant, weed and water. Please contact our secretary Barbara Watson on barbingledene@gmail.com
