We’d like to say a huge “thank you” to everyone – including Logalog.net, Naggington’s (& Graham Rogers, who came to.our rescue) who came out and helped us with the baskets today – although it took slightly longer than usual (and the weather was against us), Newport highstreet is looking lovely again.

**BLOOMING BUDDIES BLOG SPRING 2021**

The joys of gardening! Dodging rain, marigolds by the canal towpath eaten by slugs, lupins at Wrekin covered in aphids and a dandelion fest at all our sites, such has been the lot of Blooming Buddies so far this year.
Luckily there has been plenty to celebrate as well, the white cherry tree by the entrance to Wrekin Avenue had an argument with a digger in 2016 but has now fully recovered and put on a good display of blossom this year with the hope of cherries to come.
The photos show how we continue to be supported in our
work by residents of Newport. The blue iris (and many other plants) are maintained by our Phantom Planter and an old spirea gratefully accepted from another resident now lives on in four new plants.
Families following the Bird Box Trail have discovered our Wrekin Avenue and Hawkstone Avenue sites for the first time which is lovely for us and a success for Bird Box Banksy.

**Operation Hutchison’s Way** – May 2021

We have had a very successful two days removing and re-instating quite a large number of bulbs from “Hutch” and they are all now happily planted up in their new homes. It was very hard work but the perfect time to remove them.
The area was visited weekly by two of our volunteers to ascertain the best time to remove the bulbs before they were over, and if left it any longer, we wouldn’t have been able to identify them.
Our heartfelt thanks to Barbara, who’s impeccable organisation meant that the whole operation went smoothly. Luckily, the weather was perfect as well!
Although, there was some negativity on Facebook prior to the event, we have had only positive comments since, from everyone who was walking at Hutch on the day. Walkers and passersby appreciated that to re-situate the bulbs was the best thing to do.
