A HORTICULTURAL group is on the hunt for any residents with green fingers
Wokingham in Bloom is looking for volunteers to help develop new green sites in the borough.
The group, which launched in 2013, is part of the Royal Horticultural Society’s community gardening campaign which has more than 25,000 volunteers across the country.
Now, the team wants to support more of the local wildlife but needs some extra pairs of helping hands.
Keith Warwick, aged 80, is one of Wokingham in Bloom’s newest volunteers. He has been busy helping spruce up Howard Palmer Gardens.
“I love the camaraderie of working with the other volunteers at Wokingham in Bloom,” he said.
“I like to keep myself physically active and enjoy the instant results of making things look nice.
“I’ve started to enjoy learning more about plants as well.”
Wokingham in Bloom is looking for volunteers to offer 30 minutes each week for watering and planting across the borough.
It is also looking for people willing to help with some of its larger projects, and no experience
is necessary.
