ommunity art projects are a key focus of our In Bloom campaign this year, the art projects will allow more people than ever to take part in our campaign. Our message is that you do not need the knowledge and skills of horticulture to be part of our campaign.
Knit to Remember - Focuses on a knitted poppy cascade which will be a key
feature in this year’s remembrance parade service on 11th November. We are encouraging local community groups and residents to knit or crochet poppies which once put together will form a large Poppy Cascade and will be draped down the side of the South Aisle and Tower of St John’s Church. Workshops will also be organised which will allow everyone who knitted poppies to come along and help put the cascade together. Wool can be purchased locally from Golden Oldies Charity shop in the High Street, we have asked them to order in extra supplies. Alternatively, if you are unable to purchase your own wool, there are limited supplies which can be picked up together with a knitting pattern from the Town Council Office, 15-17 Temple Street, Keynsham. We would like for our ‘Poppy Cascade’ to be a wonderful tribute to remember those that lost their lives serving their country in WW1. Members of the Keynsham Royal British Legion and St John’s Church are also working with us in delivering the project.
Calling all knitters! Help Keynsham in Bloom create a ‘Poppy Cascade’ at St. John’s Church The cascade will form the centrepiece for the town’s display remembering those that lost their lives serving their country and the cascade display will commence the week commencing 5th November 2018.
Completed poppies should be delivered to Keynsham in Bloom c/o Keynsham Town Council 15-17 Temple Street, Keynsham, BS31 1HF by Friday 19th October 2018
