Ripley Flowerpot Trail - Go potty this summer!
Between 1st - 31st August, our community will have their flowerpot creations on display. See if you can visit all of them!
The map of all their locations can be downloaded here. Save it to your mobile device so you can zoom in to the locations.
Printed copies of the map can be collected from the Ripley Town Council office at 6, Grosvenor Road, Ripley, DE5 3JF, Monday to Friday, 10am-3pm.
For the past several years, as a community we have wool bombed the trees in Ripley Town Centre and Crossley Park. This year, we are doing something a little different! We are launching the first ever Ripley Township Flowerpot Trail!
This is how it's going to work...
The theme is a film or TV character or a musician or band.
We would love for residents, schools, businesses and local groups in the Township (Ripley, Marehay, Waingroves, Upper Hartshay, Street Lane, Lower Hartshay, Heage, Nether Heage, Ambergate, Bullbridge and Sawmills) to create something out of recycled plastic or terracota flowerpots based on a film / TV character or musician / band. It could be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Elsa and Ana from Frozen, The Simpsons, The Beatles, Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men, oh, the possibilities are endless!
Then throughout August, we would like you to display your flowerpots in your front garden, shop window, community area or school garden, so we can plot them on a map for our community to find.
Let us know if you are taking part
For us to plot the location of your Flowerpot creation on a map, you will need to let us know your Street name and postcode. We don’t need to know your house number - we don’t want to be that specific, plus it will make spotting your flowerpot a little adventure for people seeking them!
Please let us know if you would like to take part by completing this form:
