Golspie in Bloom open evening

 

The GREAN community garden was a hive of activity on Wednesday 16th June when Golspie in Bloom held another successful open evening, to show members of the public their stunning display of hanging baskets and bedding plants in the GREAN poly tunnel ready to go out to brighten the village for the summer. Visitors came from far and wide including other ‘in Bloom’ groups and enjoyed a fine evening, with sales table and a free glass of wine.  

Much interest was shown in the community garden and plots have alreadyp1010116_440 been booked for next season. Well done to Golspie in Bloom!

 GREAN Events Recycling Service.

We will be pleased to advise and give you a quotation to provide a recycling service at your conference or indoor event.  For advice and a quotation please contact Fiona Macdonald on 01408 634253 or email   GREAN launched their new events recycling service at the S2S conference in April last year. Recycling service was tailor made for this event, which was well received and resulted in diversion of over 150kgs of material from landfill. GREAN staff were busy all day promoting the service and recycling in general, and invite any intending organisers of conferences, trade fairs etc to contact us for more details and a quotation. Recycling is a must for any event of this nature and we hope this will provide GREAN with another income generating activity which will help to sustain employment and training at home in Sutherland. GREAN provided a similar service at the S2S 2010 event, and will be providing service at the Development Trust Association conference at Aviemore on 13th and 14th June 2010.
