West Farleigh in Bloom

 

 

West Farleigh in Bloom

 

West Farleigh entered the Village category of South and South East in Bloom for the first time in 2018 and we received a Bronze certificate. In 2019 we entered both the Village category and also the Churchyard category. In both we reached Silver medals.

In 2020 we were so pleased to be awared a Silver Gilt.

 

Fingers crossed for 2021!

Kent Wildlife Trust

 

We liaise with the local Kent Wildlife Trust alot in our efforts to support the environment in our village.

 

We have worked together to designate a large green expance managed by the Highways agency as a 'Wilder Verge'

They are also promoting Wild About Gardens which we are embracing. More can be found out here. 

Kent's Plan Bee

 

Kent County Council are building pollinators into all their initiatives. More can be found out here: 

 

 

We are also joining the BBC's Big Bee Challenge to promote this in our environment too.

June: Your Gardens, Wildflowers & Scarecrows

Posted on 4th August, 2020
It’s lovely walking around the village looking at all the beautiful gardens – everyone has clearly been working hard during Lockdown. The wild flowers are also looking stunning at the moment. We have loved seeing all the amazing scarecrows in Charlton Lane – thank you to you all for making us smile!
Hopefully your sunflowers are growing rapidly in all this sunshine! The West Farleigh in Bloom team’s sunflowers range from a couple of centimetres to 33 cms tall – but a little bird tells us that Matt and Carol’s in Charlton Lane are already a couple of feet tall!! Game on!!
We hope all of you who are still self-isolating are enjoying our photos on the Farleighs Facebook page – we would love to see more of your photos if you would kindly send them to Bloom@TheFarleighs.co.uk
