Sorting the plants
From WCRA
Wembley Central and Alperton Residents’ Association’s 'Blossom' initiative began during the first Covid19 lockdown in April 2020 when they were able to gift bedding plants to isolating residents in Wembley Central and Alperton.
More than 6,800 plants were distributed, the idea supported by local residents, the Alperton Community Group and a number of local businesses in Wembley.
In 2021 WCARA have hugely increased their efforts, securing more donations from
even more local businesses, organisations and residents, they ordered over
12,000 plants which WCARA members and volunteers sorted, packed into bags and
delivered to homes in Wembley Central and Alperton.
The aim of 'Blossom' is purely to bring a smile and happiness to residents in
the local area, especially as the past year been so hard for many in the
Wembley Central and Alperton communities. WCARA
hope this gift of plants will bring solace and help neighbours as life gets
back to normal - whether you have a tiny balcony, small garden or even a larger
plot it's great to green up your environment and encourage nature, as we all
know gardens have been so important for our health in recent times.
WCARA would like to thank all their supporters and sponsors who have helped to
make 'Blossom' possible so far - it's great to see such support for our local
community.
