"BULBS BULBS BULBS" BEGAN IN JANUARY 2015

BULBS BULBS BULBS IN THE ABBEY !!! 

With the Gift of thousands of bulbs from Scottsdales (Horningsea) in January 2015, we were able to plant bulbs bulbs bulbs in a about 7-8 different public green places this year in the Abbey; lighting up faces and spaces this past Spring!  These included: The Barnwell Community Centre, the Barnwell shops near the Spar, Abbey Orchard, The Leper Chapel path, Ditton Fields path, and the Barnwell Baptist Church. Lorna meets with local residents and groups to plant bulbs in their areas like she did with Abbey People folks & volunteers, as well as Make-do-and-Mend at the Leper Chapel and Newmarket Road between Jan-March 2015. Plans are afoot, to do more planting in early 2016, involving Neighbourhood Champions and others.  In fact, recently Lorna & Hilary and Ditton Fields Residents planted 800 bulbs out on the Rec, ready now for Springtime 2016.  Do get in touch with Lorna via the contact page on our website if you would like to do some bulb planting in your Abbey neighbourhood.
