Bulbs, repairs and new planters

We're going to have a go at planting all these bulbs in the Mill Dam Playground, starting at 10:30 am tomorrow, Sunday 24th. Come along to give an opinion as to where the tulips, hyacinths and iris should be planted.

We need to move fast because these bulbs are only available because they should have been put in last November and are sprouting already!

Aprox. 130 Crocusses have already gone into the planters in Gill Banks; another 70 will go into the 4 new planters that are about to be made and installed

The repairs of the broken pottery from the Gill Banks railings is going well and most of them will be back in place within the next week.

A Kiln firing will start today of four new Terra Cotta planters done by ten people during the last few weeks. This takes the dried clay pieces up to 1120 deg C when the clay particles fuse together into what is similar to a solid glass. They will then be filled with plants and bulbs!
