GREEN-FINGERED volunteers will help to create a spring carpet of colourful blooms when they plant wildflower seeds on Sunday.
They will gather at the former landfill site at Cox Green, Bolton, with their hoes, forks and trowels.
The planting session has been organised by the Red Rose Forest partnership as part of national Make a Difference Day.
Cox Green was once overgrown grassland, but is now on its way to becoming a lush, green community wood.
Pathways have been built, dry stone walls have been erected and trees are growing.
But more work needs to be done to make it an even better place for people to spend their time.
The Make a Difference Day is co-ordinated by Community Service Volunteers, an organisation with hundreds of local partners. A spokesman said: "The seed-sowing event is an easy way for people to dip their toe into the water of volunteering and the results of all their hard work will be when the flowers burst into bloom."
The volunteers will meet at the gates to Cox Green on Cox Green Road at 2pm.
