Spring is Coming
While it’s not even winter yet (though you wouldn’t know it from the winter wonderlands springing up in center courts everywhere), Matchborough Shopping Centre is already planning ahead for spring.
The UK shopping center is the lucky beneficiary of the Planting by the Pond program. The police and council-led program works to promote positive interest in the local community, and encourages children to build good relationships with local police.
Members of the Matchborough Youth Engagement Task Force get together with children from Noah’s Ark Nursery, and visit the shopping center with baskets of spring bulbs. Together, they plant the bulbs, while the kids learn about stranger danger and road safety.
The children also get to feel a connection with the community and the future of their local shopping center, which will spring up with flowers in several months.
