A tidy up treat for Tanhouse

Groundwork Lancashire West and Wigan held a bulb planting and litter picking afternoon at Tanhouse

Community Centre, Skelmersdale. With the help of 9 adults and 17 young

people, around 1000 bulbs were planted along the pathway and on the small

patch of land at the community centre. It will help brighten up the area

in spring time and will be an eye catching centre of the community.

One young helper said 'i really enjoyed today, I've never planted anything

before and i hope to see them all come up in the spring time, it'll look

really nice and brighten the community centre up as its a bit dull

sometimes' One of the older members commented that it was great to see

younger people getting outside and being involved in something that's

rewarding.
