We began our work in 2017/18 when, apart from spring daffodils, there was very little in the way of flowers around the village. Our first task was to raise funds by holding a tea party to buy plants and planters. Since then we have organised beetle drives, open gardens, plant sales and other activities. We received a grant from Northumberland Community Chest to buy tools and equipment. Sponsorship of planters and generous donations of money have been gratefully received. Other donations include a storage shed and 2,500 crocus bulbs that look lovely along the Jubilee Field wall in late February.
