Kirklees Libraries support the In Bloom initiative

Kirklees Libraries have endorsed the ethos of In Bloom this year with their strong support for projects both in Batley and Dewsbury.

At Batley Library they had a seed-planting morning with a local school .Julian Faulkner, the Kirklees Social Forestry Officer showed schoolchildren how to plant, care for, and nourish seeds. The children were enthralled by an interactive morning of discovery whilst they learned how to plant seeds and grow them in the correct way and also how to find information about plants in the library. They hope to have a display of the crops they planted later in the year.
