Many thanks to Andy, Landlord of the Montefiore Arms Public House (recent winner of this year’s Camra Thanet Branch Pub of the Year) for generously donating £176 from a Raffle to the Friends of Montefiore Woodland for the purchase of spring native bulbs for which the Friends are very grateful! We would like to develop a carpet of bluebells, especially as this species is under threat from the sturdier Spanish bluebell. We look forward to purchasing and planting these and other plants in the autumn and are sure the local community will gain much delight from walking through the woodland and seeing these in bloom in future years!
