| The Garforth In Bloom team have taken
on their latest project which is to improve the two little
plots of land at Town End near to the traffic lights.
We have two sponsors,
Pease of Garforth and DBL Windows who will provide a cash donation
which will hopefully pay for the plants and shrubs.
The plots are to be improved with planted shrubs and seasonal
flowers over the coming months.
The progress so far has been made by clearing old roses and weeds
from one plot.
Grass is being cleared from the second plot. |

| Thursday 16th October saw the next stage in the Town
End project. On a chilly, windswept but bright morning at 10am precisely,
half a dozen intrepid G.I.B. members met to form a new bed which
we had previously sprayed with weed killer.
Although it was hard backbreaking work digging the soil over
a good team spirit won the day. We even found buried treasure
(4p) which of course will go straight into the G.I.B bank account!
After two and a half hours heavy slog, enduring long amused glances
from drivers waiting at the traffic lights, we were rewarded with
a large professional looking bed which is crying out to be planted
up!
Roll on November 9th when we will be planting 400 shrubs shared
between the 2 beds.
- Helpers were , Andy Cahill, Karen Dunwell, Christine Cranswick,
Geraldine Ridley-Ellis, David Briggs and Philip Dunwell,
