Peterborough Positive brightens city centre with flower power

Peterborough’s Business Improvement District, Peterborough Positive, has partnered with St John’s Church, HMP Peterborough, West Town Primary Academy, Marshfields School and Peterborough City Council to reintroduce planters in the city centre with ‘Flower Power’ displays for Cathedral Square and its adjoining spaces.

In January, workers at HMP

Peterborough began the construction of 14 planters made from wooden pallets, while children at West Town Primary

Academy created designs for the prison workers to apply with paint. The first flowers were potted by children from Marshfields School, who enjoyed getting green-fingered with a range of blooms. As the heat of the summer continues, Peterborough Positive is encouraging local businesses to donate any number of flowers to help keep the displays looking as full and beautiful as possible.
