Thank you to the 18 people who helped plant bulbs on Saturday 18th October, especially to the nine younger people including Beavers and Squirrels for whom it will count towards badges!

We planted bulbs in six areas, at the junction of Queensway and Water Lane, at the junction of Holme Close and Water Lane, by the crossroads and alongside the pub on Coles Lane.

The bulbs were chosen to be pretty, pollinator-friendly and/or to naturalise and spread in the grass: crocuses, daffodils, tulips and wild tulips, English bluebells, and two types of allium.

These areas will be left uncut next year until September, to benefit pollinators and other wildlife.

We hope the bulbs will grow! Thank you to the Parish Council for paying for them, and to the EAG and PSA for helping to organise.
