The last few weeks must be one of the best times of the<br />
year for colour in the garden. Further south it may be<br />
June, but here it seems to take until July for everything<br />
to be at its best. Even a walk along the cycle track<br />
reveals an abundance of wild flowers in full bloom,<br />
admittedly interspersed with a few garden escapees.<br />
At Colourful Kilmacolm we aim to bring some of this<br />
fl oral exuberance into the heart of the village and once<br />
again we have been heartened by the admiring glances and<br />
complimentary remarks of passers-by. If you see our teams out watering<br />
and weeding give them a word of encouragement.<br />
Remember, too, that Colourful Kilmacolm is open to all. For more information<br />
