Things to do, places to go...
Funding from the Council's Leisure
Services purchases a good number of daffodil and crocus bulbs each year for
planting by volunteers in communal areas across the Borough.
In Autumn 2009 Poole in Bloom teamed up
with the Merley and Canford W.I. to plant a whole host of bulbs on the
corner of Merley Lane and Queen Anne Drive (right).
If you're willing
to do the work, we can provide all you need to make a difference to
your community spaces. We supply the bulbs and can lend you bulb
planting equipment to make the job easier; perhaps even some willing
hands if you need them.
Please
contact
Trudy if you think you can
arrange some bulb planting and we'll add them to our shopping list.
