Following the work on the Village Green and the completion of the new pathways, Aveton Gifford Parish Council set about the task of planting some new snowdrop bulbs on Sunday. Some residents were upset over the moving of earth and lopping of trees on the green, so A.G’S Parish Councillors gave up a quiet Sunday afternoon to plant some extra bulbs. 1000 new snowdrops should be in bloom in the spring, something to look forward to during the long winter months.
