Greening Bournemouth Phase Two

Following the club’s participation in the Citizens’ Panel, convened by Jessica Toale MP and Millie Earl Head of BCP Council in 2025, two members of the club took the lead on an initiative called ‘Greening Bournemouth’. The first phase was a Community Day of Action on July 30th to replant the 8 planters in Beale Place; phase two took place on October 3rd in The Triangle, an area adjacent to the town centre. We organised the funding, selection and purchase, collection and delivery of the plants and a team of volunteers (including 4 Soroptimists) to do the work on the day. We also got agreement from three nearby businesses to maintain the planters thereafter providing them with watering cans, gloves and trowels along with instruction leaflets as we had done in Beale Place. Jessica Toale MP, who participated on the day was once again very pleased with the outcome, and has posted on her social media, thanking SIB for our leadership. Another very successful outcome; off to green more of Bournemouth!
