New Epping in bloom mascot bike

On the 16th of July, we invited the Epping Open Gardeners to the community garden in Epping for a  'prosecco and pancake' evening. The gardeners got the chance to see the items that we bought with the funds they raised for us. The evening was a thank you to them for their fundraising.

What's more- we now have a new mascot for Epping In Bloom! We thank local resident Sophie for donating the bike that we decorated with lots of silk flowers. Watch out for it around the town- in the community stall on market day, the community garden and Epping Hall.

If you would like to be a part of these great events, or you have a green thumb and would like an outlet for your skills, or if you just want to make your town a nicer place to live, consider becoming a volunteer! We are in need of helpers as we need regular support during this dry, busy summer period.

WE NEED YOU!

Do you have a green thumb? Would you like to improve your gardening skills? Do you care for your community and like to see the beautiful green spaces around you grow, regardless of ability?

Volunteer for Epping in Bloom!

We meet every Friday, at 10 am. However, if this doesn't fit your schedule, there are definitely jobs for you to do around the community garden.

Summertime is an especially hectic time for the garden so we really need your help with deadheading and cleaning the fallen leaves.

If you'd like to be a part of many fun and engaging events such as our successful open garden day last month (featuring a local brass band and live cooking demonstration using herbs from our garden), please contact Victoria at eppinginbloom@gmail.com, or just come along next Friday!
