Watering

Community groups use various ways  to provide water to keep their displays  looking  good until the first frosts. This  Haddington  volunteer uses a water cart small enough to use in confined  spaces. Daily watering  and weekly feeding  has lead to very healthy plants.  Others use larger  tanks on vehicles which carry much more but can be less manoeuvrable. The wall – the back of the public toilets!- has a display of recycled  begonia  tubers growing in plastic troughs in metal cages now obscured by the flowers.   Groups in  Port  Seton and North Berwick have also created similar  wall displays.
