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!

The Cornerstone Vocational Training Centre

Today I went to take a look at the wooden structures made from recycled pallets by The Cornerstone Vocational Training Centre, made by young men getting a chance at learning vocational skills. They have made about a 1/3rd of the planters, although the remaining ones are more complicated but I am happy that they will be strong enough to cope with the filled wellies.
