Flowers: Ilkley in Bloom
SUMMER 2022
Ilkley in Bloom volunteers meet on a Sunday morning at
10 am in the Contract Area of the Central Car Park. Other working times are arranged as required.
New volunteers are MOST welcome.
If Sunday morning is a problem, but you would still like to volunteer, please contact me as we do work at other times, and we could also suggest areas where you could work at a time to suit yourself. If you would be interested in looking after a particular area please get in touch.
Our work comprises maintaining the various planters and small areas of gardens that we look after in the town, together with litter picking.
For further details please contact the Secretary, Kate Brown on 01943 604521 or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
