Welly Road goes dib did dibbling

I went to visit Birkenhead School Cubs and Scouts group on Bidston round. 28 young men and one young lady helped plant 53 wellies and they are going to take care of them until I need them....and they are going to help distribute them to neighbours prior to the Sceret Gardens of Oxton in May.  Many thanks to Akela Yvonne getting involved.

Also heard yesterday from our local councillor that Welly Road should be getting it's very own permanent planter...we are getting all pretty finally. Gary from Festival Flowers was hanging lots of baskets on the side of his...and makes me realise there is one place that is getting neglected...MINE!!! So I will be sorting my front garden soon, I promise!

101 wellies planted!

I had a moment today to do some planting on my own as I was worrying about bulbs not getting in the soil before I have a chance to do a community plant, so our grand total of planted wellies is 101 with about 3 at Birkenhead School. Today's bulbs were Rembrandt tulips & crocuses. I have even colour sorted the wellies, so all reds together, blues, blacks, greens, reds and patterned and 3 yellow wellies. Surprising really, would have thought yellow wellies would have been more popular.

Presentation Birkenhead School

I was invited to give a powerpoint presentation this morning to years 7 & 8, in Overdale and I now have a couple of young men who are going to help with posters and organisation. Hopefully, they will bring lots of wellies in for planting.

I have left 2 pairs of planted wellies with them for the stairs of their house to inspire them.This is a shot of their house pre-welly additionsfrom their website.
