Nantwich in Bloom volunteers have unveiled this colourful Guardian Angel display in the town centre to help brighten up our days.
Gardeners have been stripping back summer bedding to unveil the Angel in the main town centre bed.
Gina Haigh, a member of Nantwich In Bloom, came up with the idea who thought of the clever planting scheme when she spotted silver leaves moving whilst working in the town.
She said: “This year has been a difficult year for many and seeing the silver leaves move I thought a Guardian Angel was what is needed in these uncertain times.”
A party of Nantwich in Bloom volunteers took to the bed in the square and inspired by Gina’s design created the Guardian Angel, which carries through the silver-grey theme, a design which sparkles in the sun.
As the plants grow and mature, white, yellow, and blue flowers will unfold to enhance the display.
A wicker halo entwined with fruiting Ivy draws the eye towards the shaped wire head of the angel then sweeps down through the gown to the wings which are outlined with sparkling wire feathery shapes.
The team hope that those exercising around the town will take some comfort and hope from the display.
