Blyth Town Council requested through our partnership agreement with Northumberland County Council (NCC), that the summer bedding at Blyth Links be themed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

 

The horticulture team at NCC has delivered a beautiful display of a poppy; a symbol of remembrance.  The poppy is made up of a black grass centre, begonia, a thick border of white alyssum, and a thin border of blue lobelia.  The circular poppy bed is flanked by beds of marigolds.

 

The display was appreciated by the many who turned out for Northumberland Remembers - a family focused event organised by NCC.

 

 

The horticulture team are working their way around Blyth planting up the planters and beds, which we anticipate being complete in approximately two weeks.
