A number of years ago the village secured funding to place a number of planter barrels throughout the village.

Many are currently maintained by residents who live nearby to the barrels which provide a splash of colour throughout the year.

The hall hopes in the coming months to see if it’s possible to secure funding to replace those barrels that are past their best.

However, in the meantime thanks to Nick and the team at Just Seed in Wrexham (www.justseed.com) each barrel ‘carer’ will be given a mix of seeds for this year.

We are in the process of packaging the seeds up and will then deliver them across the village in the coming days.

A couple of the barrels have not yet been adopted – one on Froghall Bank at the junction with Banks Lane and one on Holt Lane at the junction with Haste Hill Avenue – if you want to help out please do let us know.

Just Seed have also supplied seeds to enable sections of the recreation ground that are being left uncut this year to be planted with a variety of wildflowers.
