Sherborne In Bloom!

Sherborne In Bloom Shopping Bags

As part of the town’s effort to become a plastic bag-free zone, Sherborne In Bloom is sponsoring its own shopping bags.

These are eco-friendly, biodegradable jute bags and are big enough to carry all your shopping.

Jute is environmentally friendly and when discarded will decompose leaving only valuable nutrients.

Made in India under strict working conditions and transported to this country by ship to avoid air pollution, Jute bags are totally biodegradable using only natural materials and traditional skills to combat a distinctly modern, world pollution problem. Jute bags are extremely durable – one Jute bag will last longer than many thousands of plastic bags and unlike its plastic counterpart, when finally discarded a Jute bag will naturally decompose.

The bags are now available in shops around the town and all proceeds from the bags go to Sherborne In Bloom.

You can get your ‘Sherborne In Bloom’ shopping bag at one of these outlets:

Tourist Information Centre, Digby Road

Sherborne Town Council – Manor House, Newland

Mid West Office Supplies, Cheap Street

Parsons Butchers, Cheap Street

Gryphon School (Lizzie Kingsbury)

Please support Sherborne In Bloom by buying a shopping bag when you see one in the town.

Or why not buy two and give one to a friend?

Let’s all say ‘NO’ to plastic bags!
