LINDFIELD IN BLOOM: is a not-for-profit community group set up in 2017 and run purely by volunteers. There is no membership fee and the group is open to all. Our group meets regularly to discuss how we can help with horticultural and environmental projects in the village. We are now at the stage where it would be of benefit to the group to have a treasurer. This will require a very small time commitment and we are looking for a volunteer to help us with this role. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in volunteering as our treasurer we’d love to hear from you - generally attendance at our monthly meetings for about 1½ hours may be all that is needed for the foreseeable future. We are also looking at how Lindfield in Bloom can support other horticultural and environmental community projects in the village – please contact Heather Martin with your suggestions, or come along to our next meeting on Monday 23rd September at 7.30pm in the Bent Arms when we will be setting out our plans for the horticultural year ahead. If you and your neighbours or your community group have an outside space in Lindfield that would benefit from a horticultural makeover then we may be able to help! Let us know your thoughts and ideas.
