News & Events 2009
In 1996 the telephone and cable service supplier Nynex was digging up the pavements of Broadstone. Cllr. Annette Brook (now Annette Brooke MP) persuaded the company to donate funds for local floral enhancements and Broadstone in Bloom was conceived. Denise Hill tells what happened next. Poole Park Charity Bed
In 2008 the bed featured a display from the Poole Flying Boat Celebrations (right). For 2009 we are growing a colourful display for Julia's House, the Dorset Children's Hospice [more]. Charity Bed displays are designed & grown by Kernock Park Plants, and planted & maintained by Continental Landscapes. A whole new view welcomes those using the busy Talbot Village roundabout where roads leading from the University car park, the Arts Institute and the village converge. Works were completed on 10th August, funded by Poole in Bloom [more...] August 2009 - Poole in Bloom was pleased to contribute funding towards the cost of new planters at Falkland Square at the heart of Poole's shopping area. Things to do, places to go...
Funding from the Council's Leisure
Services purchases a good number of daffodil and crocus bulbs each year for
planting by volunteers in communal areas across the Borough.
This Autumn Poole in Bloom teamed up
with the Merley and Canford W.I. to plant a whole host of bulbs on the
corner of Merley Lane and Queen Anne Drive (right).
If you're willing
to do the work, we can provide all you need to make a difference to
your community spaces. We supply the bulbs and can lend you bulb
planting equipment to make the job easier; perhaps even some willing
hands if you need them.
Please
contact
Sarah if you think you can
arrange some bulb planting and we'll add them to our shopping list.
