Ukraine Flag

Sunday 5 June - Summer planting.
The session was very well attended, and much was achieved in record time. This included planting a special tiered display of blue and yellow, representing the Ukraine flag, in front of the Village Hall in recognition of the dreadful crisis.
Plants were kindly donated by Heath and Watkins.
See report in The Henley Standard.
Soon to be featured in the Sonning Common Magazine.

Please stand it near where we are working to let folk know what we do and encourage more volunteers to join us. It is quite light. You will find it is easily carried.

If you're thinking; "What a pity it says .... .... .... .", please suggest amendments!

The times we meet are back to normal, "post-covid".

Please let us know if you have any VG news.

OUR WEBSITE
On our website we're keen to dig out and prune off the bad.
We aim to plant brilliant ideas, and nurture a blooming good display about what we do.
Help us make it more attractive and useful than the old one.
It can evolve to suit and serve us all.
What would you like added, changed, or removed?
Please send feedback and ideas for its improvement.
