@PeopleofLeeds Modern Milkman here too. Switched during lockdown and after a couple of issues it's been pretty much plain sailing now. Getting deliveries Mon, Wed and Fri. Love it.

We loved doing this yesterday. So very happy to see the plans literally springing to life and the planters in real life!

Loved spending the morning with folks from @KirkstallBloom & @The_Skill_Mill bringing colour, character & community planting to @KirkstallForge Train Station. Thanks to everyone who made this happen - get in touch if you want to be involved. @northernassist #communitymatters

I'm going to view our rambling, wild garden through kinder eyes.

@YorkshireBloom Easily done. Watering to do later. Looking forward to the rain later this week

You have my sympathies. It makes me wince every time I see it. Nothing but digging to get it out #bloomhour

Two of our lovely committee members are tackling it tonight. Maybe next year? #bloomhour

[Kirkstall In Bloom @KirkstallBloom]

@BonnieBlantyre @YorkshireBloom Thank you. They were donated by local restaurants, and the planters hold succulents, sedums, and a wealth of self-seeded carex. Seriously, if you're looking for a space filler this works wonders (and was grown from seed).

We've been trying out new photography techniques for our social media and website images this week. This is a view of one of our ongoing projects with @LeedsCommFound #bloomhour

[Kirkstall In Bloom @KirkstallBloom]

@YorkshireBloom As are our iris against the back drop of carex pendula. #bloomhour

@YorkshireBloom Evening! We enjoyed a cracking session on Saturday putting out our summer flowers. The camassias are looking stunning though!

[Kirkstall In Bloom @KirkstallBloom]

This Saturday is our summer planting session from 10.30am. It is also the first weekend of the Kirkstall Abbey Markets - I'm so excited! This is a ticketed event so it is worth checking out their event page first. https://t.co/J8ezyCdXQu

Summer planting ready! https://t.co/tE6LTGgXGV

@LondonInBloomUK @YorkshireBloom It does look like a wild currant. The leaf shape and distinctive flowers
