Bulb Planting, Holmes Chapel Road

Photographs: Bill Walmsley

Middlewich clean team have been out and about again, this time bulb planting on the area outside the Salt Cellar alongside the roundabout on the Holmes Chapel Road. Twenty three people took part - Brownies and their leaders, Clean Team and Community Pride members, a Girl Guide, Street Pastors and residents old and young - making this a true community event. We all worked hard for about an hour digging trenches for an assortment of daffodils, tulips and crocuses, had our photo taken with the Salt Cellar's manager, then went inside for some very welcome refreshments.

The annual planting is organised by Middlewich Clean Team with bulbs funded by the Middlewich Community Pride Group. Previous areas to be tackled in this way include the lay-by on Croxton Lane and the land opposite the Boars Head on Kinderton Street.
