Armley residents turned out in force on Saturday (31 May) to collect free plants and containers at Armley Common Right Trust’s (ACRT) annual hanging baskets event.
The event, which aims to bring a splash of floral colour into Armley had 140 baskets and over 700 plants to give away.Â
Taking place at Moor Top Park, ACRT trustees and a band of intrepid volunteers helped residents in selecting and bedding the plants into hanging baskets to take home.
Many residents made voluntary donations for their baskets and others brought their own empty baskets along to fill.Â
The event, part funded by Leeds City Council and Leeds Together/LCAN was a resounding success for ACRT and brought the local community together in making Armley a brighter place.
Some of the left over plants were planted in Moor Top on Sunday, and others were donated to various local charitable organisations in Armley.Â
