Heacham in Bloom team completing another project
The first major project for this year’s Heacham in Bloom competition has now been completed. The raised bed at the Lavender Junction is now in place. This has been a collaborative effort with the frame being designed and built by Steve Percy and John Hussey. The planting scheme has been designed and provided by Norfolk Lavender. The tonnes of top soil required were provided by Michael Jackson, Kevin Partyka and Moulam and Horn.
Other committee members: Robbie Topliss, Rodney Clements shifted the soil into place, Ryan Percy, Taylor Percy and myself stained the frame.
We are delighted with the finished product and judging from the comments already received many of you are as well. Norfolk Landscapes Ltd will have also completed the landscaping scheme around the Village Flagpole.
Tackling the shrubbery on Heacham South Beach
Early June will see the Heacham Beavers planting out the hundreds of marigolds grown from seed at St Mary’s Church. Other projects include the entrance to South Beach where work has already begun to clear the area and a display at the Fire Station. The Judging will take place on Monday 12 July a little earlier than last year, with the portfolio being submitted at the end of June. We hope to showcase many of the projects in the July edition of the Heacham Newsletter.
Heacham in Bloom team down to work
The Committee was thrilled to receive a personal donation of £200 and is hopeful that further sponsorship will help us to create a planting scheme at the Redgate Hill entrance to the village. We are continuing to fundraise so we will be hosting a Book Sale at the Heacham Parish Council Office in Pound Lane on Friday 4 June between 10-12 so please support us.
