City in Bloom & Spring Fun Day

From the BEO:

Dear Resident,

Residents are invited to the launch of City in Bloom 2014 this Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 PM. City in Bloom is the celebration of gardening excellence in the Square Mile with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment of all things green - including fingers! You can enter your window box, roof terrace or allotment planter for awards in the residential, sustainable and edible categories - and this year there is a special award for growing golden pollinator friendly plants.

Come to the Afternoon of Spring Fun for Families between 1:30 and 3:30 in Fann Street and Golden Lane and find our how to enter.

There will also be opportunities to do a little gentle gardening. There are herbs to plant out under the fruit trees in the community orchard on Fann Street (from 2 PM), Fann Street wildlife garden will be open - and the Golden Lane 'Baggers' allotments will also be open with guided tours. There is a plant stall and refreshments in the Sir Ralph Perring Room next to the Golden Lane allotments. For children there are sunflower seeds to sow in pots to take home and a wildlife themed Treasure Hunt.
