Friends of Lyme Valley Parkway

The Friends of Lyme Valley Parkway are celebrating the launch of the RHS 'Britain in Bloom' and RHS 'It’s Your Neighbourhood' campaigns by rolling up their sleeves to be part of a tree planting movement to double native trees and woods in the UK.

This year, RHS Britain in Bloom has teamed up with the Woodland Trust to giveaway up to 200,000 free tree saplings to be planted by communities across the UK. Both the RHS and the Woodland Trust are supporting the United Nation’s 2011 International Year of Forests to raise awareness of conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests and recognise the benefits trees bring to our wildlife and communities.

Volunteers of all ages are invited to join us in planting trees to attract wildlife in the Lyme Valley Parkway, adjacent to the allotments, between 11am-1pm on Sunday March 27 as part of the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual Britain in Bloom launch.
