ESPLANADE FLOWER BEDS ARE STARTING TO BLOOM!

ESPLANADE FLOWER BEDS ARE STARTING TO BLOOM!

Burnham and Highbridge Growing Group volunteers have started planting the seven flower beds on the esplanade on Tuesday, in time for the holiday season.

The volunteers have been working hard over the past few months to prepare the beds ready for planting. 

Today is the culmination of many weeks of planning and hard work by the Growing Group.  Thanks go to this dedicated group of volunteers for their preparation of the flower beds and for planting a grand display of coastal, sustainable plants.  The Town Council would also like to thank Sanders for their help in sourcing the sustainable plants and BARB for kindly agreeing to help water the flowerbeds for the first couple of weeks, until the watering contract commences. 

The Growing Group are hoping to have all the flower beds planted within the next 10 days.
