Planting in the Memorial Garden next to St. Gregory’s Church this Saturday, from around 10.00 am as usual and weather permitting. Planting at The Manor House on Sunday. Because of where we will be planting it will be helpful if you can bring a dibber with you as an alternative to a trowel.
Bulb planting will continue over this weekend with planting between John Nash Drive and Coronation Avenue. Since planting is now now mid -way between the two junctions, it is up to you whether you join from either end, although the parking is easier at John Nash Drive. Bring tools and gloves if you have them but as usual there will be some available to borrow.
Bulb planting now switching to the Teignmouth side of town. Next session Tuesday 12th November, 10.00am ish. Meet at John Nash Drive near where it meets the A379.
Next bulb planting session - Saturday 9th November - Exeter Road ( grass verge opposite Warren Copse). Let's hope the rain gods are feeling kind..............
