"I thought I would send you some photo's of what our volunteer group has achieved this Summer. Lord St In Bloom volunteer group looks after the gardens along Lord St, Southport. We also plant up 82 large stone planters twice a yr, and plant up nine wooden planters. We garden every week and make sure Lord Street Southport looks blooming marvellous. Volunteers play an important role all over the country."

It's great to see friends & neighbors get together to maintain & improve their community. Judging by the smiles they had fun in the process & enjoy each others company.
Outstanding work and almost all of you are positively beaming...what a great thing to be a part of. It has to be so satisfying to make this kind of contribution to your community.
How cool is that?! Good job, volunteers. Time well spent!
Beautiful ! I love that it is done by volunteers!
Awesome acheivement. How many volunteers in your group? How many hours a week does it take to tidy all the plantings? Is watering an issue? I ask as a garden club member who helps create and maintain public gardens.
I didn't realize this post came from England until I read the Sefton Council sign. Thanks for sharing this Pauline. It is wonderful to recognize the volunteers. Without them, there would be no way to keep so many places looking beautiful. Great job!
Beautiful example of what ALL of our towns and cities on BOTH sides of the pond could and arguably should be...both aesthetically and community-wise!
That is undeniably so very awsome!!!
I just love when gardens are pretty and appropriate for the site… Lovely - and a beautiful example of how gardens & architecture combine to evoke harmony, beauty and peace for those lucky enough to experience ! Including us !!!! Thanks for sharing !
