“We want to brighten up the town we feel proud to live in.

“This is a plea for help as we desperately need more pairs of hands to join our volunteer group and give whatever time they can give.”

The Melton in Bloom Volunteers are members of the nationwide ‘Britain in Bloom Campaign’ which is also supported by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
