Knitter gifts parade flowers

A bouquet of woollen flowers will decorate a care home float in next year’s Spalding Flower Parade thanks to the generosity of a knitter.

Holbeach Meadows Care Home will be taking part in next May’s event and has been donated a huge variety of blooms by Margaret Barker.

“We have been touched at the kindness of people in the community who are supporting our first flower parade,” said front of house manager Yvonne Masters.

The home’s owner Tanglewood Group has asked for knitted, crochet or crafted flowers to be donated and help their float bloom.
