About the planters

The wooden whisky barrel planters is 45cm in height 70cm in diameter.

All we need are one or two local people willing to keep an eye on it during the growing season.

What is involved?

Very little!

✔ Pull the occasional weed
✔ Water during dry spells
✔ Spend a few minutes helping the area look nicer

Most volunteers give 5–10 minutes every now and again.

Why it matters

Small efforts like this make the street more colourful, improve the local environment and help bring the community together.
