Beautiful recycling - and it's all free

Give your garden a splash of colour on us says the Borough Council's public open space team.

Winter bedding plants are due to be lifted from Esplanade Gardens in Hunstanton and St James Park in King's Lynn soon and the public open space team will be giving them away to residents for free.

The team will be removing the colourful displays in Esplanade Gardens, Hunstanton, on Wednesday 14 May from 9am and in St James Park, inside The Walks in King's Lynn on Wednesday 21 May from 10:30am.

There will be a mixture of Polyanthus, Bellis and Myosotis plants, all free.

Cllr Simon Ring, the borough council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet member for Business, said: “People using our parks in Hunstanton and King's Lynn will already have had the opportunity to enjoy these flowers. We’d now love to see these plants go to new homes instead of being composted, so we’re giving them away and hope they can be enjoyed again at home in people’s gardens. I recommend getting there early as the last time we did this most of the plants went within the first hour.”
