Middlesbrough residents can donate old wellington boots to be transformed into colourful planters for a community garden.

Middlesbrough residents are being invited to donate old wellington boots as part of a community gardening project led by Tees Valley Wildlife Trust in partnership with Middlesbrough Council. The unwanted wellies will be transformed into colourful planters for the Thorntree Library and Hub Community Garden.

The boots will be filled with spring bulbs and winter pansies to brighten the space and create a cheerful display for the community. Residents can decorate the wellies and plant them up during a Community Garden Party at Thorntree Library and Hub on October 29 from 2pm to 4pm.

The event is part of wider efforts to restore and develop the garden into a welcoming green space that supports wildlife and brings people together. Donations can be dropped off at Thorntree Library and Hub on Birkhall Road or at Tees Valley Wildlife Trust at Margrove Park, near Boosbeck. Residents are encouraged to call ahead to check opening times.
