The Mayor of Camden helped out when a large number of volunteers planted spring bulbs recently in Bloomsbury Square. The Friends group, who garden regularly and generally try to keep the square looking good, was glad of all the extra hands that helped out on this occasion. Look out for the mass of flowers in the spring!

Several other Bloomsbury Squares have volunteer groups as well as informal or occasional opportunities for one-off volunteer sessions. They’d be pleased to hear from you. Contact: bloomsburysquares@talktalk.net
