New water bowser for Bury St Edmunds' Abbey Gardens

A new bowser for the Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds will help gardeners to water hard to reach areas.

They will be able to use the bowser to more easily access the banks of the River Lark, cathedral planters and areas near the ruins.

It has been purchased using donations and locality budgets from Bury in Bloom, county councillor Robert Everitt, town councillors Andrew Speed and Jo Rayner, Our Bury St Edmunds and the Abbey Gardens Friends.

Melanie Lesser, Bury in Bloom co-

ordinator, said they want to ensure the summer displays look their best for Anglia and Britain in Bloom judges in July.
