HANGING BASKETS AND PLANTERS around town.
Summer is drawing to a close and the colourful hanging baskets were taken down last week (22/23 September). The baskets continue to be useful as they are composted once they are chopped up. Then, when they have rotted down, the compost produced will be bagged up next year and used where needed in planters etc. around town.
With volunteers at the ready, it was a slick operation which only took a couple of hours to turn a hanging basket into the beginnings of compost!
If you have enjoyed seeing the baskets around town this year, please consider helping us next year!
Please ring Wetherby in Bloom on 01937 581234.
There is still colour around Wetherby, provided by the various planters. These will soon be emptied but they will then be planted up with their winter bedding.
A number of WIB volunteers then move on to help the Wetherby Christmas Light Team in November, as their 200 Christmas trees need dressing with strings of lights before being put up around town !

Pergola repair on Bridgefoot
Late March 2025 saw Wetherby in Bloom overseeing the repair of the wooden pergola on Bridgefoot. Eight of the supporting posts were replaced by Copeland Fencing and we are grateful to Dickson Timber of Harrogate for donating the wood. Volunteers then gave the new wood a coat of wood preserver .
Seasonal Jobs
March 2025, the volunteers started again down at the Riverside car park. The first job was the clearing of all the debris which had been left after the Wharfe flooded over the winter - especially near the picnic benches at the bottom end where it was trapped in the railings. This was cleared into a heap and we are grateful to both Councillor Alan Lamb and LCC, who promptly got all the rubbish removed.
For the next few weeks we will be cutting back and tidying up.

Everything we do does make a BIG DIFFERENCE. If we do not get more volunteers the amount that we are able to do for the town will have to be scaled back. For details of how to become a volunteer Please ring either 01937 581234 or 01937 588397
