Donation for spring flowers

The Enchanted Forest Community Trust has helped to ensure that Pitlochry can look forward to a spectacular display of 5500 bulbs this spring, made possible through a £500 donation to local group, Pitlochry in Bloom.

Pitlochry in Bloom is a dedicated committee and small group of volunteers, whose summer floral displays, hanging baskets, feature beds and spring and autumn bulb planting provide a colourful welcome for visitors and keep Pitlochry looking its best all year round.

The organisation has faced a challenging two years, with the pandemic curtailing almost all of their regular fundraising events.

Kate Howie, chair of Pitlochry in Bloom, said:“We’re very grateful for the generous donation of £500 from The Enchanted Forest Community Trust.

“Financial support from local businesses and organisations has been crucial for us this year, as many of our fundraising activities were unable to go ahead.

“Thanks to generous donations from organisations like The Enchanted Forest Community Trust, we have been able to plant over 5500 bulbs in the autumn, which will soon be bursting into life in our feature displays all around the town this spring.

“Everybody looks forward to the first signs of new growth and cheery colour in the Spring, and perhaps this year it’s needed more than ever.”

Scotland’s trailblazing sound and light show, The Enchanted Forest, will return to Faskally Wood this year from Thursday, September 29, running until Sunday, October 30.

Tickets will be on sale from June 2022.
