Roughly 30 people took part from various local businesses, including Footwear and Fascinators, Coffee D'ash, Cavendish St Social Club, St David's, Careers Inspiration Hub, Bumblebee at the Hive, Vision Support, GrimefightersUK, Dapper Delights and Furness Multicultural Forum.

The planters were being refreshed ready for the winter as the summer bedding plants were coming to the end of their flowering season.

Paul Hodgson, BID Project Manager said: "It was great to see so many businesses come together to help refresh the planters on Portland Walk as part of our community planting scheme.  A massive thank you to everyone who took part and to B&Q Barrow for the kind donation of all the plants."

The group had a 'bloomin' great time!'
