Warsop Sunflower Challenge

Spring is here, and it’s time to grow some smiles! We’re giving away free potted sunflower seeds to anyone in Warsop who wants to join our sunflower-growing competition. Plant them in your garden in April, nurture them, and see how tall they grow!

  • Lifespring (Warsop Town Hall) 7th, 8th & 9th April between 9.00am – 1.00pm
  • Vibrant Warsop (Portland Street) from 7th April

(Please note seeds will not be available to collect on the 6th April as advertised in the Warsop Parish News, as this is a bank holiday).
