**The Task**
Smithdown in Bloom are working with local residents and businesses to place tubs and planters along Smithdown Road and the surrounding streets, to make the area greener, brighter and more attractive for all.
The task will be a mix of:topping up the planters we did before with more soil, and potentially repositioning the plants accordingly; watering if needed; and litter picking around the planters.
We will be meeting the task owners at the central reservation at the corner of Ullet Road and Smithdown and then heading off to different planters locally to add some colour. Those not wanting to join the group run can meet us directly there. https://w3w.co/closer.door.took

Runners will be meeting at the Suitcases on Hope Street for a 6:30pm warm up and a run to the task. https://w3w.co/normal.shirt.builds
If you are not running you can meet at the task location for 6:55pm ready for us all to start the task together.
