Volunteers can do as little or as much as they want during this time, some of the activities will include: litter picking, weeding, clearing leaves, planting and cleaning some street signs & furniture.

Those joining in are advised to wear clothing appropriate to anticipated weather conditions and sensible footwear. Everything else; Hi-Viz vests, litter pickers, sacks, gloves and all equipment will be provided.

Congleton In Bloom Chair, Cllr David Brown said: “The In Bloom team look forward to welcoming new and existing volunteers. We have a busy year ahead as Congleton has been selected to represent the North West region in the RHS Britain in Bloom UK Finals in the Large Town category! So we are trying to get as many members of the public to join in the monthly volunteer mornings as possible. Congleton In Bloom relies on community participation and the session will be a great way to help make the town centre garden cleaner and greener and meet new people at the same time!”
