Nicola swaps her marigolds for..... marigolds!
Local business owner Nicola Bailey is seen here doing her bit to help Civic Pride clean up around Rawtenstall in preparation for the judging of the RHS 'Britain in Bloom' awards. As the owner of Bright & Beautiful Rossendale, Nicola provides a bespoke cleaning and housekeeping service to homes in Rawtenstall, Ramsbottom, Bury and surrounding areas but in her spare time she has been applying her cleaning and gardening skills to the wider community with Civic Pride.
Civic Pride is a voluntary organisation committed to clearing litter, tidying grot-spots, planting and maintaining gardens around the Rossendale Valley, and this year for the first time they have entered in the celebrated RHS awards.
Nicola say's "As a company, we pride ourselves on making people's homes look beautiful and it is nice to be able to help do the same for our town. Civic Pride is a very dedicated group of volunteers who are out in all weathers and I like to do my bit to help when I can so we can keep Rossendale looking it's best."
The great news is Rawtenstall has won through to the final 'in Bloom' awards ceremony in October with a minimum of a bronze award, and several of the individual gardens have been successful in the 'It's Your Neighbourhood' awards scheme. For a first time entry, that's amazing - let's hope Rossendale makes a 'clean sweep' at the awards.
