Blooming marvellous way to thank NHS workers
A floral display has been laid to thank our blooming marvellous NHS workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
The country has developed a new found appreciation for medics and staff on the frontline since the virus took hold, and now bulbs have been planted at Shrewsbury Castle. Bright colours will bloom forth in the springtime.
Shrewsbury Town Council's gardening team have laid the bed. A spokeswoman said: "The Shrewsbury Town Council gardeners have now completed the planting of the Shrewsbury Castle carpet bed and it's looking great.
"Once again, we're thanking all those key workers who have stepped up to help the community during the Covid-19 pandemic this year.
"Andy and Steve have added something new to the planting, but we'll have to wait until spring to see the full design."
The team put a similar design to thank NHS workers in June this year, with a vibrant yellow and white display earning plaudits from passers by, impressed with the work.
The Shrewsbury in Bloom team worked hard to make sure visitors were be able to enjoy bright displays throughout the town this year, despite the pandemic and the fact there was no Britain in Bloom contest to compete in. Next year will be no exception either, as the team put the Town of Flowers on the map for its colourful displays.
