Keeping Duns Blooming Marvellous

A group of around 15 volunteers who, over the last seven years, have taken over the planting and maintenance of 19 flower beds and 11 planters in the Border town of Duns. Over the time they have moved from bedding to sustainable plants. They also regularly collect litter in the town and surrounding laybys in their efforts to Keep Duns Looking Marvellous.

In 2022, Keeping Duns Blooming Marvellous won the Beautiful Scotland discretionary New Entrant Award: The entry was of a very high standard. The group has lived up to their name by transforming beds, providing colourful displays and improving the environment throughout their town. The enthusiasm of this bunch of motivated and committed volunteers is evident in the wide range of activities and their results on the ground.
