South Molton begins to bloom! Volunteers are digging for victory all around South Molton as the town’s entry into the 2021 South West in Bloom competition begins to grow in the spring sunshine. And it’s not just flowers and shrubs, Bridget Smith and Elaine Symons (pictured right) have brought floral colour to the disused Chanters Bakery shop on Barnstaple Street. Townsfolk are being urged to join in, whether it’s putting art in your window, having a fresh hanging basket or entering the front garden competition. There’s also a new litter picking group, the South Molton Wombles, organised by Will Locke, helping to keep the town tidy. Plus there’s Stephen Huxtable who cuts the grass, empties the bins and much more!
Molton Monthly has donated some plants supplied by Ash Moor Nursery that will be planted around Livarot Walk, with a plaque very kindly made by the local Men’s Shed volunteers. To get involved you can find South Molton in Bloom on Facebook, or their contact details are at the bottom of page 29 opposite.
