COMMUNITY group volunteers have received some well-deserved treats to thank them for their efforts.
Members of Home Grown in Holmes Chapel provide planters and beds of fruit and vegetables, and held a Plant Swap on Saturday.
To thank the volunteers for their work they were presented with a bag of goodies by Alison Wright, Co-op Member Pioneer for Holmes Chapel.
Alison said: “We are so lucky in Holmes Chapel to have Home Grown in Holmes Chapel providing us with the most eye-catching planters and beds full of fruit and vegetables.
“A team of volunteers have been tending to these throughout lockdown, and on Saturday invited everyone to a Plant Swap, ensuring that social distancing was observed.
There was a huge array of plants of all varieties - tomatoes of every type, chillis, raspberries - the list was endless.
“Help and advice was also available from the volunteers for planting and growing the plants at home, again all managed at a safe distance.
“To start off celebrating volunteers and the work they do in our community for Volunteers’ Week 2020, I presented Sue Mitchell and the other volunteers with a small token of goodies from the Co-op from our community to them - a bag of biscuits and treats.”
Sue said: “Many thanks to the Co-op and Alison for the kind donation to Home Grown for all the work we do in the village.
“I’ll be saving as much as I can for later in the year when we might be able to do some bed maintenance as a group.”
