“My husband (Martin Young) has kindly made up the planters and Dobbies has kindly donated the bedding plants for them. Now that six of them are in place, we’ve had great feedback from the community.

“The hundreds of thousands of bulbs are due to arrive at the end of September or the first few days of October. They will be planted across 15 locations and we’re hiring a bulb planting machine to help plant them.”
