Waiting has never been a strong point of mine and this week we've done something in the wildflower garden that will take months to wait for!
Our I/C garden person, Paula, accompanied by spouse Brian and two volunteers, Trevor & Amandeep, set about planting over 500 flower bulbs. They had to ensure the bulbs were all planted 'pointy end up' and we will now have to bide our time until next year when the garden should witness a host of golden daffodils and hyacinths.
Another 300 bluebell bulbs were planted expertly by students of Queen Alexander College. The college have been great supporters of the wildflower garden and have generously given their time from when the new garden was started. Rumour has it they ignored advice about planting the bulbs and selected their own unique pattern!
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
