to anyone calling in at the
Milnrow & District
Horticultural Society Shop on
Sheriff Street, off Dale Street
by the Slip Inn on Sunday
mornings. There will be 4
types of packs available:
garden flowers packs that
attract bees and butterflies,
wild flower packs, vegetable
packs and fruit packs. This
should all be in place by the
time this article is printed.
Irene Davidson, Chairman of
the society says “anyone can
come down to collect a pack,
and if they want a variety pack
that is fine, just let us know
what is wanted. We are also
going to keep a log of people
interested in helping out with
the project and planting as
and when needed; just turn
up at the shop and give us
your name and a phone
number, or join us on the
Facebook group
‘Milnrow and
Newhey Incredible
Edible’ which
attracted over 40
members with 2 hours
of it’s launch!”
Milnrow Parish School

outside of school;

The Friends of
Milnrow park are allowing
wild flower planting in the
“rough”, and sites are being
identified
around Milnrow and Newhey
