Sorry for the short notice again (and the cold weather!). Is anyone available to help tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock at Woodend (junction of Liverpool Road South and Northway, to plant 575 remaining miniature daffodil bulbs (Narcissus Thalia and Narcissus Mount Hood)?

Out of the blue, we received a donation of 1027 bulbs from Mersey Forest, which need to go in the ground ASAP, there is a small weather window tomorrow before the rain starts most of the week.

We are planting them all in a small area around the bug hotel, which is bordered by the log path (pictured) and is also intended for a wildflower area to be sown in spring, as part of the children’s nature corner.

I have prepared the area last week, by raking the leaves, cutting the grass and have sectioned it off. On Sunday, Joanne, Ken, Joan and myself were able to plant 452 bulbs (Camassia Leichtlinii Alba x 100), (Tulip Triumphator white x 25), (Tulip Purissima x 25), Leucojum Aestivum x 137) and daffodils. Huge thanks for braving the weather on Sunday!

The Equipment Needed: anything to make a suitable 4” hole, gloves and maybe something to kneel on.

Many thanks once again,

Frank
