Finally in March 2024, when the work was completed, AIB and APC worked together to come up with a design for the area. APC commissioned Grasstex to dig out the area and lay a hard surface, similar to Cow Lane, and create a triangular flower bed in the centre.<\/p>\n<p>AIB approached Quercus Nursery who generously offered to donate three large multi stemmed silver birch trees for the triangular bed which AIB have now underplanted with daffodil bulbs for Spring colour. We plan to add snowdrops and black ornamental grasses in the Spring to create a low maintenance feature.<\/p>\n<p>Two benches were purchased and positioned at each end of the area, one was funded by AIB and the other by The Angmering Heritage Trust.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-204 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"Station Road, Angmering new flower beds planted by Angmering in Bloom\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-1536x803.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-2048x1071.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133643a-1200x627.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two planters, the same as the new one on the Village green, with Welcome to Angmering on them, were purchased by APC and placed either side of the triangular flower bed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-202 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Station Road, Angmering, new planters planted by Angmering in Bloom volunteers\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-1536x1015.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-2048x1353.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240229_133621-1200x793.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We were delighted that two local Angmering businesses, Bentley&#8217;s Caf\u00e9 and Cooper Adams Estate Agents, have agreed to fund the annual cost to Ferring Nurseries of planting the planters to provide colour and interest all year round.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-206 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20231115-WA0001-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Angmering in Bloom volunteers planting in the village\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20231115-WA0001-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20231115-WA0001-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20231115-WA0001-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20231115-WA0001-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/angmeringinbloom.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20231115-WA0001.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some years ago, when the new cycle path was created along the A259 and up to the pedestrian crossing in Station Road, an area of rough ground was left which over time had become extremely overgrown with brambles and bindweed.
