Leominster is looking blooming marvellous following the recent
funding from the Kingspan Insulation Community Trust which has been
used to plant a nutgrove and flowerbeds.
Leominster in Bloom is run by a group of volunteers with the aim of
making Leominster a more pleasant place to live. As part of this desire
they put forward an application to the Kingspan Insulation Community
Trust to enable them to encourage biodiversity in the area through the
planting of trees and flowers.
Gill Ding, a member of Leominster in Bloom and organiser of this
project, commented “We were lucky enough to receive funding from
the Kingspan Insulation Community Trust which we have put to good
use in not only by encouraging biodiversity in the Parish but it has also
brought the community together by getting different groups involved
with the planting. This involvement has helped give people a sense
of pride in the area they live, and will hopefully encourage similar
activities in the future.”
