Broomfield in Bloom
Despite challenging weather conditions, Broomfield Park volunteers keep the gardens looking wonderful.
Despite a hard winter and a dry June which affected many plants, we have had yet another glorious year in the displays within Broomfield’s historic gardens winning a Solver award from Enfield in Bloom. This is possible because of the dedicated work of a team of 20 volunteers working with gardener Victoria Black. The team continues to recruit new volunteers and regularly there are 12-14 people working each Wednesday morning come rain or shine.
Regular postings on the FoBP Facebook page have highlighted the plants to look out for in the gardens as well as advertising plant sales and other activities.
The Gazebo behind Broomfield House has been refurbished and now has pride of place once more in the shrub bed that borders it. This. Feature is one of the most important assets of the early 17th-18th century "Baroque" Garden.
Whilst donations have fallen in 2023, occasional plant sales have helped to meet the major challenge of keeping the herbaceous well stocked.The body content of your post goes here.
