Our Areas
This page will show what we are doing in the various areas we work on around the town.
At our work session this week (23rd May 2023) we were busy planting up the hanging baskets and troughs for a bright and colourful flower display all around the centre of town. They will be positioned within the next fortnight or so.

Henhayes Play Area
We started on this bed in March 2023. It had previously been cultivated but got neglected over the years, so we decided to give it some TLC and make it look gorgeous again.
April 2023 Collecting plants from a volunteer's garden in the rain, then, planting them at Henhayes the next day in glorious sunshine. In Summer, the bed should come to life with colour.

West Street/Bowling Green Beds
Plans are hatched for all the lovely things that will adorn this West Street bed in 2023!

May 2023 - weed free and coming on a treat!
The Potager (aka veg patch!)
The idea behind the potager is for everyone to be able to help themselves to bits of veggies - so please get stuck in, just remember to leave some for others!

Church Street
Lovely planting in Church Street, March 2023
Patches have been left to give the wild flowers a chance to grow and provide food for insects in St Bartholomew's church yard.
And the magnolia tree in the church yard was as beautiful as ever
Smaller Areas
Rose Lane, Summer 2022
Planting the Broadshard Planter and reaping the reward
March 2023 - a bit of fun! Trying to brighten up an otherwise forgotten corner.
A small area near the entrance to Redgate Park - very shady and dry. Quite a challenge!
Added to our repertoire in 2022, Pullmans Lane is beginning to be a real bright spot.
Not one of Crewkerne in Bloom's areas, but Foxditch Lane is worth a mention as it is made so beautiful each year by local residents.
