Bridgwater is set to bloom with an array of planting by Bridgwater Town Council’s Open Spaces Team.
The planting scheme features a vibrant mix of hardy perennials and ornamental grasses, ensuring year-round interest.
Tall structural plants such as Miscanthus and Carex varieties will form the central focus, while medium-height blooms including Penstemon, Salvia, and Gaura will add colour and texture.
Trailing plants such as Ivy and Erigeron will soften the edges, creating a visually appealing arrangement.
The selection of plants has been carefully curated for longevity, resilience, and aesthetic value and provide a source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects to help support and increase local biodiversity.
Many of these species will remain evergreen, ensuring the town retains a well-maintained and attractive appearance throughout the year.
Councillor Kathy Pearce commented,
“This initiative reflects our dedication to enhancing Bridgwater’s natural beauty and supporting local wildlife. By choosing plants that are both beautiful and beneficial to pollinators, we are fostering a healthier, more vibrant community.”
