Charity flowerbed unveiled at Weymouth's Greenhill Gardens
Town Council's gardeners are showing support for MV Freedom
A eye-catching new flowerbed has been completed at Weymouth's Greenhill Gardens - highlighting the work of a local charity.
The Town Council's gardens team have created the carpet bedding in honour of MV Freedom.
The charity helps to provide access to the sea for people with disabilities.
Flowerbeds are put together at Greenhill every year, to show support for an annual chosen cause.
Dirk Aldous, Chairman of the Friends of MV Freedom said:
"On behalf of the trustees and myself, I express our sincere thanks and delight for this wonderful recognition that can only help those living with disability even more through our enjoyable and therapeutic sea going trips.
“This will act as a further incentive to our very committed and hardworking volunteers to carry on providing enjoyable and empowering sea trips for those living with disability. For it to be happening during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year makes it even more special and is a marvellous reinforcement of last year’s receipt of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service."
Cllr Ann Weaving, Mayor of Weymouth said:
“The flowerbed is looking absolutely fantastic and represents an amazing local cause. Thousands of plants have been used to recreate the MV Freedom logo, so a big thank you to the council gardeners who have worked hard during the hot summer months to design this special flowerbed.”
