St Just in Bloom Christmas Tree 2023

The festive period has just been so busy for group members, with a Christmas tree to festoon at St Just Miners Chapel and wreaths to create with Ali Law from Wild West Flowers.

So we apologise that the general merriment prevented us from giving a more recent update.

As we move into a new year, the group hope to build on our positivity of recent times and begin to plan for what the year may have in store.

Firstly we are thrilled to announce our first fundraising event of 2024!

Mark Holman, esteemed garden designer and horticulturist will be joining us on Friday 9th February at St Just WI Hall to give a talk on ‘Garden Regeneration’.

War memorial planters refresh

Posted on: May 20th, 2023

Just in time for the Coronation two weeks ago, our Vice Chair Phillipa gave the war memorial steps a little lift. What a difference it makes!

You may have spotted many of our volunteers busy sprucing up our planters, in preparation for our yearly plant delivery. Each planter is assessed, weeded and replenished with fresh soil. This allows each planter to give the best floral display. Hopefully all the efforts will be worthwhile in a few weeks time!

Plant and Bake sales kick off for 2023!

Posted on: May 20th, 2023

Our annual plant and bake sales kicked off on a very soggy Monday 8th May! Our Chair, Vice Chairs and Secretary all braved the weather to sell a wonderful selection of plants and cakes. We raised a phenomenal £400 thanks to the generous St Justers! So thank you thank you thank you! ❤️

Keep an eye on our Facebook page, when our next sale sale dates will be announced soon.

Our volunteers have been busy bees all through the summer period and now it’s time to reflect and celebrate everything achieved.

We also look to recognise the green-fingered skills of our local community, through our annual Awards and Quiz night fundraiser on September 16th.

We hope you will join us and happy reading!
