Discover Welling expressed, "We are amazed by the amount of interest shown in our poppy display in Welling this year and the number of messages of support." This indicates the growing community engagement and appreciation for their efforts.
The initiative, which began in 2021, was inspired by Enjoy Bexleyheath's poppy appeal. Discover Welling sought guidance on sourcing the large poppies and has expanded gradually since.
The volunteers emphasize their sustainability effort: "The poppies and cable ties are reused annually to avoid waste," showcasing their commitment to environmental responsibility.
A volunteer mentioned, "Each year since, a volunteer has purchased more poppies and we have gradually been able to cover more of Welling," highlighting the initiative's growth over the years.
