Post date: Jan 30, 2015 9:43:40 PM

Abernethy in Bloom launched on Monday 19 January 2015 at the Cree's Inn. It was a cold Winter night but enthusiasts got together over a drink to talk over ideas. We decided on the following plan of actions for our first year:

more tubs and floral features around the village

a best summer tub and window box competition open to all - watch out for details.

help the Horty society redevelop Nurse Peattie’s Garden and continue the planting and tending of the Village Fruit Tree Trail

plant lots of bulbs around the village in the Autumn

hold a home-made produce and food fayre in December with lighting-up and decoration of the village and a special Christmas tree in Nurse Peattie's Garden

develop an information map of all the green and beautiful places in the village to put in the Museum and other public locations to make Abernethy an even more attractive destination for visitors

Abernethy Primary School is keen to get involved and we want to encourage local businesses to support us.

Hazel Gordon from Berryfields Tearoom and her husband Norman volunteered to be joint secretaries of the Group, Caroline Boyle is Chair and Margaret Donaldson Treasurer. Chris Farmer is going to create a special Facebook page to keep everyone up to date on what we are doing.

You do not need to be a garden expert to get involved. We are looking for anyone who cares about their surroundings and improving the environment where they live and work.
