Spring is just about here and gardeners are being called on to help keep Sidmouth looking beautiful.

Sidmouth in Bloom (SIB) runs gardening groups and works in partnership with volunteers across the community, on the beach, in the Byes, in the Parks, streets and gardens.

On Saturday, April 13 is SIB’s first meeting of the year for friends and acquaintances, in the small hall of the Methodist Church in the High Street, from 10am until 12.30pm.

The theme of the meeting is ‘Water Wise and Gardening Wellbeing’. Attendees will be given an insight into SIB’s plans for the town gardening this year.

Tea and cake will be available.

Organiser Cheryl Allen said: “I do so enjoy our meetings. People who love plants and growing, taking pride in making our environment a pleasure for everyone around, just enjoying each other’s company whilst learning new ideas. Do come.”
