VOLUNTEERS have been working hard to make Howley bloom next Spring by planting thousands of daffodil bulbs.
Supported by Warrington Borough Council, the Howley & Fairfield litter network took delivery of 4,500 daffodil bulbs.
Local organizer, Julie Campbell said “We are grateful to WBC for funding this local project and for supporting our team efforts to make this area a cleaner, greener environment for all the residents. We also appreciate the help of volunteers from our local community, including our local councillors, St Elphins Park voluntary gardening team and the support of our sister Warrington litter teams”.
Planting started last week just off Parr St by the Howley Hotel pub and Mrs O’s Cafe, and work continued throughout the week.
Local Howley Litter team coordinator, Hannah Austin said: “Since setting up the litter team in February this year, we have removed over 650 bags of litter from this area in a series of Sunday volunteer litter picks. We have now started to think about the whole environment including making the most of planting up some of our local green spaces. The daffodils are something real that the whole community can look forward to. We know it will be a difficult winter, but when these daffodils come up in the spring next year, we will know we have come through it together”.
