Liphook in Bloom Needs You! - Liphook In Bloom (15th Jul 2023 - 10:37:30) The beautiful flowerbeds, planters and baskets around the village are planted, maintained, and watered solely by a team of volunteers. Currently our watering team has become depleted, and we are recruiting more volunteer helpers. The baskets and containers are watered about 30 times through the summer using our own water bowser. Currently we have seven two person teams who each complete 4 watering trips through the season, from June to September. Each watering tour takes between 2 – 3 hours. We are looking for vehicle drivers with towing balls who would be happy to tow the bowser and waterers who will fill the baskets and containers. We collect the water from our rainwater harvesting tank located at the Millennium Centre Full training is given and where possible we will try pair you up with someone who has done the watering before. If you are able to help on this community project, please email Paul Johnson paul@tethersend.uk and he will discuss with you what is involved. His phone number is 01428 724813 or 07854 074276. Our oldest regularly working team member is 87 and we would like to be able to let him retire!! We always need younger volunteers to take on a wide range of tasks, not just watering. So if you are able to help in any way please get in touch with Paul.

It would be a catastrophe if LIB folded what would liphook look like without flower beds and baskets doesn’t bare thinking about. If you have moved here and can spare some time I’m sure you could make a difference they are very short of help actually running it so you don’t have to be a gardener. Love to think that it will keep going.

Re: Liphook in Bloom Needs You! - Liphook In Bloom (20th Jul 2023 - 07:34:17) I think that all residents will agree that the flower beds, troughs and hanging baskets are looking wonderful. This is solely due to the commitments of the volunteers who all have constantly strived to provide an attractive environment in our community.
