No time to rest for Middleton-in-Teesdale’s gold winners

COMMUNITY SPIRIT: Lindsey Pepepall

BARELY a week after winning gold, volunteers were hard at work preparing for their village for next’s year Northumbria-in-Bloom competition.

A band of six avid gardeners were back on Middleton-in-Teesdale’s green planting more than 600 daffodil bulbs in a bid to impress the judges in 2019. They had won a third consecutive gold award for the village only a few days before.

Organiser Pam Phillips said along with the additional daffodils, the group would be filling the village planters with 200 tete-a-tete daffodils, 1,000 mixed crocus and 100 Kauffman tulips. She said: “We do a little each week so it is not such an onerous task.”

Although the group has yet to decide on a theme for next year’s competition, there are plans to focus on drought-proof plants following this year’s summer.

Mrs Phillips thanked to support from local businesses and residents for the group’s fundraising activities, which had allowed them to buy the new bulbs.Anyone who would like to get involved for next year’s competition contact Mrs Phillips on email [email protected].
