If you want to get out and about, get some exercise, breathe in some fresh air, and all while doing something useful, there’s lots happening this week.
On Thursday, Dan and team will be down at Belle Vue Park from 10 – 12:30 as usual. On Friday, why not help us here at greenerSudbury do some tidying up (details to follow)? Then on Sunday join Sudbury in Bloom volunteers to plant up some grass verges. See Dan’s message (below) for more information about Sudbury in Bloom, and Belle Vue Park.
“Sudbury In Bloom have arranged some weekend family bulb planting sessions, and the next is on December 3rd from 10.30 to 12.30, at the Mill Hotel. We will have bulbs to donate to schools and organisations so please let me know if your group would like to participate.”
Dan writes, Daffodils are the perfect bulb…. they do really well and over time a patch grows and naturalises. Tulips on the other hand sometimes lose their vigour and become weak.
The yellow is just the right colour for Easter and often falls well with Mother’s Day. That’s why Grow Your Community recommends them in schools as an easy to grow and pick burst of colour. What better way to get over Winter than to be expectant of a Spring full of life.
It’s not too late to plant bulbs – as long as you can dig a hole 3-5 inches (not frozen) and the bulbs are not damaged or squidgy – often shops sell them at half price now.
Remember we’re at Belle Vue Park this Thursday 10am – 12.30 and there will be the usual activities tending the flower beds. Also some repotting of Money plants if you want a new houseplant. Happy as ever to see new faces.

As many people are on holiday/working this may just be a short one-hour session to tidy up the wildflower bed.
We had a productive morning at the tubs behind Roy’s, with a few unruly plants removed and a bit of pruning on others.
Roy’s kindly donated a couple of plants, and some gravel – so new plants were installed (along with several grown by our volunteers), the tubs were topped up with some fresh soil, and all was topped off with gravel to help with moisture retention during any particularly dry spells.
Meet on 14 July at the back of Roy’s for some sorting out, fixing up and, of course, weeding. The tubs we will be working on are at the seating areas on either side of the back entrance to Roy’s, (across from the back of Thingmebobs) on Great Eastern Road. If there is time we might also pop round to the Kingfisher beds.
New faces always welcome – just come along ready for some gardening!
Apologies all, but we are going to postpone our Friday Tidy until next week (14th July) due to work, holidays, and cherry tree-related injuries! We will send out a reminder next week.
