Leabank Square Eden Project Crocuses
Remember back to early October last year? I know it's been a long cold wintertime ago - but that's when we planted the beautiful purple crocuses kindly donated by the Eden Project in Cornwall.
It was all in aid of Rotary Internationals work to eradicate Polio in the entire world.
Some of us played a small part in that message by planting this stunning path of purple crocuses along the dividing fence on the green.
They are starting to peep above the grass now - and really look lovely. If you get a chance - please take a cuppa down to the green - and admire their purpleness.
We all love Leabank Square - and want to see our lives here improve day by day.
By contributing to this blog we will all feel as if we have a say in how we want our square to be.
Of course we could all use it as a whinge blog to whine on about the rubbish collections or cars parked on the sidewalk at the entrance -
BUT
- how about we all use it to make our lives a lot more positive?!
How about we all use it to organise litter pick-up days, or comunal barbeques in the middle of the square, or meetings to get the management company to change something?
Anything!!

Glad to see the globe artichokes look in fine fettle, ready to take off properly this year.
