The Borough Wide Community Network (BWCN) is working in partnership with Wigan in Bloom to encourage members of the community to attend events to learn more about how to go about the planting of bulbs, hanging baskets and other similar items with a view to returning to their neighbourhoods and sharing these skills with family, friends and neighbours. Some fun events are planned in parks around the borough and the other events will be held at Tudor House, 8 Liverpool Road, Hindley, Wigan. The events are free but people must 'book in' as numbers are limited. Priority will be given to members of the BWCN if demand exceeds supply, and all children must be supervised by an adult/carer/guardian.
Pre-booking for events at Tudor House in Hindley is essential, whilst it is strictly first come first served for events in the park:
20 April 2010 – Tudor House Hindley – 6pm – 8pm - Sunflower seed competition and Grow Your Own Herbs.
