ANYONE in North Tawton planning a floral display this summer might like to pop along to a morning in the park on May 7 to pick up one of the 40 free window boxes or planters being given away by North Tawton Events Group.

Held from 10am until 12 noon, this is all to help Budding North Tawton and most likely this sort of help to residents has never been offered before.

Compost and plants will be provided.  Learn how to plant and care for a window box, trough or planter.  There is one planter per household to help brighten the town’s streets.

That evening from 7-10pm, but in the Community Centre on Barton Street, is another Events Group event with a Clothes Swap, when people can take along up to three items of clothing or accessories and swap them for new-to-you items.

There will be nibbles, tea and coffee available and space to try on clothes.  Take your own alcohol if you wish.  It will be £1 per entry.  Swapping will begin at 7.30pm.
