We are proud to have made a HUGE improvement to the Berners Street corner, with all of our planters fully stocked, and ready to pop with colour!
In the two large planters we have Bergenia, Nepeta, Rudbeckia and more, teasing us, as we await their blossom. The bright yellows, purples, reds, and pinks, will burst with life as they mingle amongst the rest of our chosen plants. The multi-stemmed trees in the centre of the planters are amelanchier lamarckii. They will be in bloom any day now. Later, there will be dark red berries and superb autumn leaf colour.
In the collection of smaller planters we have a selection of Lavender, Cistus, Verbena, and Pennisetum, which will grow boldly, and beautifully, with striking comparisons between the assortment of tones.
Also, we aren’t finished yet!
Greener Ipswich will return soon to finish the prepped bed closer to the road, with potential for more work on the opposite side of Berners Street, so, stay tuned for that!
All of this wouldn’t be possible without the help of our superstar team of volunteers! All of you have done such a marvellous job; you are each appreciated!
The community spirit our projects establish, and enhance, is one of the many reasons we do what we do, and seeing such a keen interest from local establishments to get involved with watering and maintaining our planters brings everyone here at Greener Ipswich so much joy. It truly is a pleasure for each and every one of us to help serve our shared community.
