Hello everyone!
Although we’ve been quiet, our volunteers have been busy preparing for this year’s floral displays.
We had a successful planting day on Monday 23rd May and the town is now ready for the summer season.
If you would like more regular updates, please go to our Facebook page @stjustinbloom.
Further to our last update regarding the proposed Robert Matthews Memorial, we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated so far.
The Committee is mulling over a few suggestions and we will update with more details when a decision has been made.
Robert Matthews with the 2016 St Just in Bloom Gold Award
St Just in Bloom have been contacted by St Just Council because they have been approached by several residents who would like to contribute towards a memorial for Robert Matthews who did so much for St Just.
The council will be paying for a seat to be put on Robert’s bed by the primary school and therefore they have asked us if we would be able to accept the donations for our own memorial to Robert. We would of course be delighted to accept.
UPDATE JUNE 2022.
If you would still like to contribute towards our memorial bed, please see one of our volunteers at one of our events or contact us via email: info@stjustinbloom.org.uk
The RHS have sent their newsletter and we are pleased to announce the 2020 winners:
Congratulations and a big thank you to this year’s participants!
St Just in Bloom needs your help. The group is currently unable to continue as it has done for the last 17 years, as over the last twelve months or so several of our longstanding members, including our chairman, have decided to step down, owing to health, age or personal reasons. Our group is now so reduced in membership that we now do not have enough helpers to carry out all the jobs we have been doing around the town, and if we continue we will be only able to provide a very limited floral display in the centre of town.
We know the people of St Just, and its visitors, have appreciated that our town looks cared for and attractive, particularly during the summer months. But we don’t just need appreciation, we need practical help. You don’t necessarily need to be a gardener, we need help moving things, watering, painting, and administrative tasks. If you care about your town and would like to help us please contact our secretary Emma Gwynn Tel 07476669026 or email emmagwynn09@googlemail.com.
Please note you do not have to come to meetings, we just need to know you are available. Even a few hours can be very helpful.
