The weather was kind, the judges were primed and the cakes and refreshments were refined! We welcomed @RHSBloom @HOEInBloom judges David and Lesley Pritchard, as we toured them around our community-focused town. Results will be in the autumn, so watch this 'in bloom' space!
TGBS does not just provide an assessment & certification scheme, but also mentoring to enhance biodiversity outcomes. Section 7 of the manual covers the various services that are available.

Thanks @HTAnews for inviting me to represent the @ArbAssociation at the House of Lords for the debate about the 'Sowing the Seeds' report.
Also thank you Lord Redesdale for mentioning #arboriculture in his speech - helping promote the #treecare sector.

Newly planted trees need to be watered regularly over the summer months if they are going to become established and thrive.
If you have a tree outside your house, or one that you pass on your daily walk, then you can help.
According to the Met Office rainfall between January and June 2022 was the lowest since 1976. Established mature trees are able to find their own water. However, it is recommended that newly planted trees are given 50 litres of water per week during the summer months, for the first three years after planting.
There are many things we love about Stonehouse in Bloom - sense of comradery/lifelong friendships formed/feeling of support if needed from other SIB members. Great for our mental/physical health, + a non-judgemental space/work at your own pace/feel valued. Enjoying a cuppa+chat!
Working Party Day 11th May - And there we were thinking the mulch mountain was going down! But, first we had to weed and clear around the base of all the trees in Meadow Road Park, before adding the mulch. "Did Somebody Say JUST Mulch?" #stonehousearboretum @RHSBloom @HOEInBloom
Working Party Day 8th May - The threat of rain didn't dampen the SIB Team spirits, as they toiled, digging and planting in the Station Steps Garden, mulching the pathways and beds on The Memorial Green and planting Yellow Rattle in Laburnum. @RHSBloom
