Tea on the Green is back for 2023! Join us on the village green on Sunday 20th August from 2pm-4pm for tea, cake, games and live music from Harvest Moon.
Tea on the Green is a great way to get to know your neighbours, while raising funds for the upkeep of the green. Donations are very welcome, bring your spare change for the games!
After cancelling in 2022 due to the very cold weather, we’re looking forward to getting back together and singing in the season. We’ll be joined once again by the Clackmannan District Brass Band and will be collecting for charity.
Falkirk Council have redesigned and provided plants for the two flower beds that flank the water pump on the village green. They have worked with charity Repollinate to select plants that will help and protect bees and other pollinators.
The first batch of plants have arrived and been put in place by members of our Gardening Club, who also worked hard to prepare the soil by weeding and laying new compost.
Until the plants are established we will need to keep on top of hoeing and watering these beds. More plants are to come in the next few weeks.
If you’d like to help the gardening club, email us at dunmorevillage@gmail.com. Gardening club isn’t just about the public Dunmore green spaces, we also share photos and discuss what we’re up to in our own gardens.
Dunmore villagers took part in Clean Up Scotland, targeting the entrance to the village and several years build up of plastic along the foreshore to South Alloa.
A further litter pick is planned for later in the year. Watch this space.
