Putting Down Roots<br />
An enthusiastic group of youngsters turned<br />
out one day last month to plant some trees<br />
in Bridge of Weir. They were the winners<br />
of the ‘Easter Stone Hunt, in which several<br />
brightly painted stones were hidden around<br />
the village prior to Brighter Bridge of Weir’s<br />
Easter Pop-Up Shop fund-raiser. As well<br />
as winning a prize on the day they were<br />
each given the chance to plant a tree. So<br />
there are now four young trees in the open<br />
ground at The Grove, opposite Gibb Stuart’s,<br />
something for those children to remember.<br />
By now, Brighter Bridge of Weir’s summer<br />
plants should<br />
have arrived<br />
and the<br />
Group will<br />
be spending<br />
much of <strong>June</strong> refreshing the barrier baskets<br />
and planters throughout the village, so it’s<br />
going to be a busy time for the Group’s<br />
volunteers.<br />
After a slow, faltering start to the growing<br />
season everything now seems to have<br />
come at once. And in spite of the poor<br />
weather earlier on, the Group were able to<br />
ensure that the plants stayed healthy and<br />
it looks as if this summer should see as<br />
spectacular a display as ever.<br />
Don’t forget, you can follow the Group<br />

Kilmacolm Horticultural<br />
Society<br />
Our two events in May - the Royal Afternoon Tea Party, and the annual<br />
Summer Outing, were enjoyed in a great spirit of friendship. We now look<br />
forward to welcoming you to the annual Kilmacolm Flower and Produce<br />
Show, to be held in the New Community Centre, Kilmacolm, on Saturday<br />
8th September. Exhibitors are encouraged to enter the Flower, Vegetable,<br />
Pot Plant and Hanging Basket section, plus there is a special section<br />
for Novices interested in exhibiting for the first time. Always an attractive<br />
feature is the Floral Art. For a Show Schedule containing all the Classes<br />
information, please contact Jill Russell on 01505 872393.<br />
The Garden at the Cross in Kilmacolm has undergone a clean-up as phase<br />
1 of Inverclyde Council’s improvement<br />
scheme for towns and villages<br />
within Inverclyde. The wall and<br />
commemorative fountain have been<br />
cleaned and strengthened, new shrubs<br />
have been planted which will take a<br />
little time to develop into a mature<br />
garden. Lets hope for a summer of<br />
good weather to encourage growth.<br />
Happy gardening everyone!<br />
