It's Blooming Time

Last night 7 runners ran 5.5km to spread the word about Big Local Broad Green's "In Bloom" competition for budding gardeners to show off their front gardens, balconies, windowsills and outside spaces.

Our run this evening may not have been far but required several consultations with the maps as we journeyed to the Big Local Broad Green head office. As we proved to be excellent urban explorers, we arrived successfully and were met by Lauren. This is the first time the "In Bloom" competition has been run by Big Local Broad Green and the team hope that it will help residents take pride in their area and tackle some of the issues with fly tipping. Lauren and her team had prepared some very helpful maps with the streets we needed to go to highlighted, and armed with fistfuls of flyers we set off again into the night.

Splitting into pairs we delivered the leaflets through the front doors of the Broad Green neighbourhood. There were definitely several front gardens we saw which would have a good chance and others which will hopefully be inspired to do a little work tidying up. Lets hope they enter! In total we delivered the leaflets for 6 streets in the neighbourhood.
