Brightening Up The Overchurch

Posted on June 27, 2009

One of the planters with myself and some of the budding gardeners

Earlier today I had the pleasure meeting up with the good people of Overchurch Residents Association where a number of planters complete with compost and plants were delivered courtesy of Carr Farm Garden Centre.

After the planters were strategically positioned all that was left to do was fill the planters with compost and add the plants, a task that the community took to heart especially the children of the estate, there’s definitely more than one budding Alan Titchmarsh living on the Overchurch.

The planters which have been jointly funded by Overchurch Residents Association and Wirral Partnership Homes add an extra touch of colour to an already pleasant estate.

Well done to Jean and the team from Overchurch Residents Association and also to Dave from Wirral Partnership Homes for making this such a success.
