Planting up the containers

Members of the group met in Pudsey today to plant up the containers around the centre. We also weeded and pruned the beds near the carpark, bus station and leisure centre a bit and we are hoping to do more later.
This is the one next to the market; we removed the dead shrubs, left the mahonia in and planted 3 prostrate rosemaries, 1 heuchera 'Melting Fire' and 2 carex 'Evergold'.

This is one of the containers by the entrance to Pudsey Park. We planted in it a stipa arundinacea, 3 heuchera 'Melting Fire', 1 dierama and a prostrate rosemary.

The containers are looking good now, even though it is still February. We have one more to do, the one by the other market entrance, but it contains some big overgrown shrubs so we'll have to return another day with more tools to remove them. We also planted some ferns and a carex in the container by the library.
