“Street of Flowers is a council sponsored event. We just wanted the street to look nice for Mothers Day and to bring the town together during May,” Glenda Anthes, owner of Intimate Dreams, said.
“The bulk of businesses in Lithgow are run by women. I think because we all really care about growing Lithgow.”
WILD have a busy month. The organisation is hosting a sold-out high tea on May 27, initiated by Tina Case and Natalie Bailey to acknowledge women’s achievements in Lithgow. Journalist Edwina Bartholomew of Sunrise will be the guest speaker.
“It’s to celebrate women who give a lot to this town,” Ms Anthes said.
Jacki Mitchell of Lithgow Technology Services says small business has a role in building community.
“We offer personalised service, I think that’s why our clients come back. We’re like family.”
