Milngavie in Bloom Clean-up

Milngavie in Bloom is trying to encourage and co-ordinate clean-up activities with volunteer groups in and around Milngavie. The National Keep Scotland Tidy Campaign was launched last week and runs from 14th March until 14th May. Milngavie in Bloom has a planned "Clean-up" during the week Monday 28th March till Friday 1st April at various spots throughout the Village. If anyone would be interested in joining in this very worthwhile activity, please contact them via their website at

If you want to arrange your own clean-up, that would be great too. Just visit the Keep Scotland Tidy website at
http://springclean.keepscotlandtidy.org/aboutSpringClean.asp
but do it quickly if you want to take advantage of their free clean-up kit, as time is getting short.

Milngavie in Bloom is a very worthwhile organisation which tries to bring colour to Milngavie by planting the various bedding areas around the Precinct and also by placing barrels and planters within the pedestrianised streets. It is an entirely voluntary organisation which relies on donations to buy the plants, compost and planters. They are always looking out for practical help as well. They have regular “Weed-Ins” or plantings which last no more than a couple of hours. If you would like to lend a hand, I'm sure they would be extremely grateful.
