Plot 31 Bulbs Bloom at the Trust Halls

In February, the Plot 31 Community Garden were kind enough to donate and plant bulbs outside the Harpenden Trust Halls in Southdown. They have now bloomed and look lovely!  

The Plot 31 Community Garden project began in 2019 when a team of volunteers established a Community Garden in Batford for which the Harpenden Trust Community Fund were pleased to provide financial support for the purchase of equipment and preparation of the garden.  

It has greatly benefitted the local community and Plot 31 have now joined forces with the local Macmillan charity fund raising committee to grow and then dry flowers to be sold in aid of Macmillan.  

We hope the flowers will be as successful as our daffodils!!
