Reading Blooms 2007 - the launch day

On Saturday 12 May 2007 we set up our stall in the E P Collier School playground to give local residents an opportunity to brighten up their front gardens, courtesy of Reading Borough Council. Free troughs and hanging baskets were on offer, along with a selection of plants - and there were even one or two experts around to give some helpful advice!

We needed some help setting up our stall...

...but it was soon busy, and we had a steady flow of takers.

We helped select plants and make up the troughs and baskets.

Finally, here we all are, with Reading Borough Council community project manager Chris Bloomfield, and some satisfied customers!
