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’.

 

Success at our 20th anniversary event!
