Portaferry in Bloom needs YOUR help – the various baskets and beds around the town need some volunteers to keep down the weeds and water the flowers in the coming summer months. If you’d be up for taking ownership of an area, come along to the Square on Saturday 16th of April at 10am. All ages welcome and yes, if you like, bring your bulbs !!!
