Bulb
Planting Autumn 2008
Each year the Poole in Bloom budget provided by
the Council buys several thousand spring bulbs which normally
include a range of standard and dwarf daffodils, mixed crocus
and some native bluebells. Planting is carried out at
open spaces across the Borough by enthusiastic volunteers
including residents, Ward Councillors and school pupils.
This year sites included Branksome, Broadstone, Canford
Cliffs, Creekmoor, Hamworthy, Talbot Village
and outside the Church of the Good Shepherd at Alderney.
At
Canford Heath Councillor Sandra Moore worked alongside members of
the Haymoor Middle School Gardening Club (pictured right)
and Ad Astra Community School (top right) to plant bulbs in
the school grounds.
She followed this by donning her wellies on a
Saturday morning to join local residents Jo and John Reynolds,
together with colleagues Cllrs Chris Matthews and Graham
Curtis, in creating an area of daffodils and bluebells in the
woods between Longfleet Drive and Bettiscombe Close (pictured
