CAN YOU HELP?  If you can spare an hour or two to help either once a month or just occasionally, we would be delighted to hear from you.  We need volunteers for planting, weeding and dead-heading, assisting at events, and with occasional “heavier” tasks such as setting up tables, chairs or the gazebo, or repairing and filling planters.  

Please contact Ann Davis on 01582 792518, email: ribhelpers@yahoo.com

Thanks to our fantastic volunteers for making our summer planters look so colourful!
