Heacham Beavers admire planting at St Marys Church
Heacham Beavers joined members of the Church and Heacham In Bloom to plant out 500 hundred marigolds grown from seed at St Mary’s Church. The Beavers did a great job and for a very short while the planting looked lovely, that is until the rabbits decided to chew every plant. At South Beach, the biggest project of the Summer, work to transform the entrance to South Beach has been completed. The whole team worked on this project, but a special thank you must go to Nick Cawthorne. The planting of the boat was done with the help of Heacham Rainbows.

We are also pleased to announce that we have received donations from the Christian Bookshop and Tesco. Tesco also provided members of staff to help start a new bed at Redgate Junction. The bed is a work in progress and will be enlarged as more funds become available. I also thank Wakefield Joinery who made and donated the planters for the A149. Most of the projects should now be complete, however work will continue right up until Judging on Monday 12 July.
It has not been easy this year as funds were in short supply, and in order to maintain our award we have had to do what we did last year and more. The weather and the rabbits have caused a few set backs, but I must pay tribute to the Heacham In Bloom team, all Heacham residents, who have worked very hard to make everything look as good as we can.
