The wonderful team of volunteers from Whitchurch in Bloom, led by Kathy Hardy and Caroline Wells, have continued in their quest to add colour to the town's street scene, this time using the Bicycle.
Whitchurch in Bloom have started to add themed decorated cycles to the town centre.
First was a February 14th Valentine's Day special, painted in loveable pink and adorned with roses and hearts.
It turned a few eyes.
Now they have created a March 17th St Patrick's Day wheeler, finished in Irish Green with shamrocks.
Brightening the town
The team have also been locating planters and baskets around the town in an aim to brighten the streets, generate pride in the town, build a sense of community and to make a challenge in the Britain in Bloom competition.
They have been out planting bulbs, weeding streets, laying wood chippings, collecting rubbish and fundraising through quizzes – and have lovingly been called Whitchurch's "Nutty Heroes".
In 2022 their work achieved 'Silver Gilt' recognition in the Small Town category, and were just two points away from gold.
With the help of the bicycles they may achieve that honour.
They certainly deserve it.
Fundraising
Whitchurch in Bloom are currently running a fundraising campaign to purchase new planters and flowers for 2023.
