Also, from Saturday (18 January) the whips can be collected on Saturdays only from the Henry Bloom Noble Library in Duke Street, between 9am and 4pm.
Measuring up to one metre high the whips are available to Borough of Douglas residents and community groups only - proof of residency is required.

Community groups will be allowed 100 whips per group but must provide evidence of permission to plant the whips on private land.
