Thames Ditton In Bloom

Thames Ditton Station is blooming thanks to all our wonderful volunteers! Special thanks to Alaa in #CafeNoir for selling our brownies, raising much needed funds for this amazing project.

Our new volunteers @TDInBloom Michael and Lisa who will be working their green fingered magic on our wildflower meadow which needs some TLC - feeding and nurturing more pollinators in our beautiful #community garden @thamesditton Station

Not posted in a while but @TDLitterPickers are out and about in Thames Ditton every 3rd Saturday of the month. We meet at Thames Ditton Lawn Tennis Club from 10.45 set off at 11 and litter pick the streets commons & riverside for an hour. Why not join us?

We won! Thames Ditton In Bloom volunteers are thrilled to win Highly Commended for Best Project Involving Young People Award in #SWR’s 2025 Community Rail Awards. Our Station garden planting days are attended by families & youngsters from community groups.

We are so proud that @TDHighStreet is committed to being single-use @PlasticFreeTD Here at the Coffee Pot coffee shop customers can pick up a free #reusable #TDBoomerangBag for their shopping plus fill up on free @RefillTD tap water @SAS_London_

Just look at our amazing @TDInBloom #community garden on #thamesditton station. Made possible by our fantastic volunteer gardeners with support from @ElmbridgeBC and volunteer fundraising. Local @SW_Help staff are fantastic too!

Thanks to @ElmbridgeBC & @WindowflowersUK for installing hanging baskets again@TDHighStreet The #community loves them. Thanks also for the continuing support for @TDInBloom I erected the brackets when I was @ElmbridgeBC cllr - so brightening for the village.

A wonderful time was had by all at the recent Thames Ditton In Bloom planting day on Thames Ditton Station. Here are the volunteers who helped plant out the 16 wheelbarrows 16 railing planters 2 floor tubs plus long bed and meadow @triciawelchb

“If the bees disappear off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” #SaveTheBees #ActOnClimate #climateemergency #Climate #nature #GreenNewDeal #biodiversity

So many great reasons to shop @TDHighStreet this Mother’s Day. Fabulous bouquets from Secret Garden; chocolates & cards from View gifts, jewellery from Assimi & the Hamilton Gold Company; cakes & pastries from TD Bakery plus TD Boomerang Bags etc etc.

Spring has arrived now our Thames Ditton In Bloom #community garden has sprung into life on TD Station. Thanks to our team of volunteer gardeners & @ElmbridgeBC who contribute around one third of the funding - the rest raised by Thames Ditton Foundation.

The TD Men In Sheds have had to leave the former Thames Ditton Centre for the Community. Apparently £5 million public liability insurance & coming under the auspices of a local charity wasn’t enough. Even their sign went in the skip. A sad day for the village

What a difference an hour makes. All this litter collected from the streets commons parks & riverside of #ThamesDitton in 60 minutes by #communityminded residents. Our @TDLitterPickers 2025 plea - don’t drop litter - take it home & dispose in your own bins.

One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. 38d.gs/-ufv

Operation Butterfly - our red admiral artwork undergoing emergency surgery after her wing blew away in the winds (luckily found in the wildflower meadow). Thanks for the speedy treatment by Thames Ditton Men In Shed Alan who helped build our fab insects.
