Rejuvenating the colour and life of Main Street, a group of volunteers headed out to Lilydale on Thursday 19 September to bring some spring back after winter.
The Lilydale Township Action Group (LTAG) members Ian Darvell, Max Manning and Sharyn Manning, with some help from the staff at Bunnings, replanted all 34 planter boxes that line the main thoroughfare.
Lilydale Bunnings community immersion activities organiser Thomas Hobley helped arrange for 40 plants and the potting mix to be donated to the group to make the task even easier.
Adding white, red, pink and purple varieties to the planters, it livened up the gun metal grey boxes.
The planter boxes were an initiative of LTAG last year, seeing them be installed along Main Street and first beautified with flowers in August by volunteers.
LTAG maintains the planter boxes throughout the year to ensure the plants are healthy and thriving.
