Moseley volunteers growing a cleaner, greener community

Do you want Moseley in Bloom and Open Gardens to continue? If so, we need you!

Moseley in Bloom is a registered charity run by a small group of local

volunteers. All dedicated to keeping Moseley clean and green.

We have won a Heart of England in Bloom Gold award for eight years in a row, and this year we are working with many local groups to

encourage participation in the RHS It’s Your Neighbourhood Scheme. We also work with schools and other organisations to spread the word

that Green is Good!

However, we can’t do all this without you.

If we are to continue to play our part in making Moseley the unique urban village and community it is we need your support.

Please consider volunteering with us. You don’t have to be green fingered, just keen to help.

As well as helping out at our monthly market stall and at events like

Open Gardens we currently have three open positions: •  Web Technical Support, •  Schools Liaison and, •  Car Park Gardener

If you think you can help with any of these please get in touch for

more details.

Thank you!

Visit www.moseleyinbloom.org.uk for more information or speak to one of our volunteers today!

Become a Friend of Moseley in Bloom

Moseley in Bloom is proud to organise the annual Open Gardens Weekend, one of the highlights of the summer.

However this not all we do…

You have probably seen the attractive summer hanging baskets and planters in Moseley's public spaces, but you may not know that

Moseley in Bloom is responsible for generating all the funding to pay for them and for liaising with the award-winning Parks and Nurseries department of Birmingham City Council to install and maintain them. Likewise, the permanent plantings around the Village car park and

elsewhere in the Village are all thanks to us – our fundraising pays for the plants and our volunteers plants and maintain the beds.

We receive no public funding

For just £20 per year per household you can ensure that our work can continue and grow for the benefit of all of Moseley.

Membership also entitles you to discounts at our plant stall at the

Farmer’s Market and to Open Gardens and other fundraising events. Rest assured as a registered charity, every penny we generate goes to

support our activities.

Pick up a Friends leaflet at any of the Open Gardens or at the Farmer's Market.

Visit www.moseleyinbloom.org.uk for more information or speak to Jean Gilkison on 07710 020274
