The Knapp Bed in 2008 and 2009

The Knapp Bed Project:

The Knapp bed was planted in May 2005 by the members of the newly formed Tetbury in Bloom Committee. Colourful foliage plants were used including the dark leafed physocarpus, golden lonicera, golden euonymus, lavender, variegated arabis, chives, alchemilla mollis with flowering perennials including red penstemons and phlox together with annuals of white marguerites and pink semperflora begonias.

Since then the bed has grown and matured. In Autumn 2007 the bed was planted with several hundred daffodil and tulips to create welcome Spring displays for years to come.

In 2008 we enlarged the bed slightly, removed the lavenders and hebes which had outgrown their position and these have been transplanted in other areas of the town.
