BRIGG FLOWER PLANTING SCHEME FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER


Following the success of its colourful flowers in the town centre during the warmer months of the year, the Brigg in Bloom Committee has now drawn up an autumn and winter planting scheme.
Wrawby Street tubs: Dwarf wallflowers, Mixed viola, Mixed pansies, Ivy, Cordyline.
Methodist Church, Barnard Avenue/Wesley Road: Cordyline, Wallflowers, Pansies (large tubs), Violas (small tubs).
Top of Albert Street: Wallflowers, Primula, Miniature daffodils.
Women's Institute bed: Wallflowers, Primulas, Miniature daffodils.
Hewson House: Primulas, Miniature daffodils.
Old Courts Road raised planters: Wallflowers, Tulips.
Near Sherwood's, Bridge Street: Wallflowers, Daffodils, Pansies.
The committee has decided that baskets/tubs on the railings and bridges will not be planted over the winter, and that the containers should be removed, due to the risk of frost damage, potential vandalism and watering being required.
