Project Update 16th April 2026

I have spent all day working through the 70 new people who have registered with us. The figures on the website are here https://corstorphineinbloom.com/

  • 54+ businesses interested
  • 107+ volunteers and supporters
  • 12+ community organisations involved

We have 

  • 33 people who say they want to adopt a planter 
  • 32 who want to do planting days
  • 57 who want to do occasional weeding and watering
  • 19 people who support the scheme and want the newsletter

We have

  • 3 businesses who want narrow planters
  • 4 others who want to install hanging baskets but they can do that themselves

I have not looked at todays emails yet – we were in the printed newspaper  this morning. 

We have one group desperate to start as detailed below, but need grills removed. I appreciate that you both have many other things to do. The next step is for me now to marry the volunteers with existing parks and planters. Some have said they want to adopt planters in shopping areas that do not have them .
