Thanks to Evelyn for this update on the work of Beanstalks. In her own words. Ed
Beanstalks is the activity to make Ventnor look more colourful. It includes the array of hanging baskets that will appear later in the season (with advice on watering).
In the meantime, we are planting up the redundant black recycling boxes, with a small grant from Ventnor Town Council and help from the Botanic Garden. Some have been placed outside Ventnor Library and others have been put at a care home.
We include summer bulbs, trailing plants and herbs and hope to get going on veggie boxes.
Can you spare plants and black boxes?
What we need are plants that are surplus to requirements from residents, more black boxes please and tell us where there are care homes or other places that you think would value some attention.
