Volunteers step in to keep Nairn Colourful

Despite the cut, we'll still have the flowerbeds beside the A96. They are being planted by volunteers. This one was planted up by the Keeping Nairnshire Colourful group, others will soon be planted by the Gardening club and other groups. Well done citizens! Thanks to Billy for the picture.

    Instead of wasting money on a projecting clock at Castle Lane why not put it to better use and use it to sponsor the flower beds and hanging baskets about the town?

    All fair and well, Sarah, and great that people are giving their time and energy but where do you draw the line when it comes to paying for the plants and materials?

    the keeping nairnshire colourful group got money from the lottery to pay for the plants and materials, and this is a perennial planting as will the two other beds.
