Boston in Bloom

We’ve been in the buoy garden this morning. It is looking fabulous hard work but worth it . #RHS #PrideinourTown #BrilliantBoston

Getting ready for the RHS judging on Tuesday. Thanks to the Wombles and parks for the help. #BrilliantBoston #PrideinourTown #RHSBloom

Nearly done it, but the fair has come to town so we are a little behind with our planting.

Happy Easter from Boston in Bloom 🐣🦔🐑

Had a great seed give away @stump_boston including very popular monkey puzzle seeds and plants from a local tree @_RHS big seed sow #prideinBoston #celebrateboston

Our volunteers did a splendid job today ,primroses,hebe, hellebores, heuceras all went in and buttercup came out. A windy but sunny day. #prideinboston #loveourtown

Look at this! Spring is blooming in town!

We went to Custom House Quay to tidy up. All frozen solid so we had a coffee and will be back on Friday!

Spotted these in my garden spring is round the corner!

Tomorrow we are recycling geraniums and dahlias at the Stump Townscape heritage and skills day. Free to good homes and will arise again next Spring if looked after. Come and see us. @BostonTownscape @wraaboston @FydellHouse @Blackfriarsbox

Busy day for volunteers in the park, clearing and cleaning and planting. On to the the station adopters with planters and bulbs for them @EMCommunityRail @BostoninBloom1

Fabulous plants thanks to Growing Wild of Boston for The wildflower meadow on haven bridge. And thank you too for the yellow rattle seeds which will make all the difference. Sponsorship makes it all worthwhile.

End of season displays. It’s been a good year. Our perennial planters are brilliant and today some are planted with white narcissus and in the memorial gardens with red tulips. Should be lovely in Spring

Boston in Bloom won a gold award at the awards in Loughborough today. We are delighted and thanks go to our volunteers and to the borough Parks and Grounds team for their support #EMiB #bostonBorough #loveyourtown #beBoston

We are off on Wednesday to Loughborough to hear the results of judging. Fingers crossed 🤞 We will let you know!

What an amazing career Sam has had. She’s going to be an interesting speaker. The people she has worked with and the perilous situations she has found herself in at the BBC. Worth waiting for!
