Planting in the Prayer Garden

Last year green Team were lucky enough to plant crocus bulbs (corms) in Paddington Street Gardens. When springtime came, they made a beautiful show of purple flowers for everybody to see. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances, we were unable to go to the park; however, we did have a lot of fun planting them in our prayer gardens. Each bubble worked separately but were untied in their Green Team endeavours.

First, we found our tools.

Then we weeded the pots.

Next, we planted the bulbs.

We had to tidy up afterwards.

Finally, of course, we washed our hands thoroughly!

Foundation Stage pupils also planted some in their growing area as you can see in the photographs below.

We will be keeping you updated on their progress by posting photographs on the website as soon as they begin to grow.

Crocuses are a symbol of hope, winter turning to spring and new life beginning. The crocus bulbs were very kindly donated by The Rotary Club, with a special ‘Thank You’ to Carole for organising their delivery. This is for their END POLIO NOW campaign. Rotary International is dedicated to the world wide eradication of polio. Purple Crocuses are the symbol of the End Polio Now campaign because each person receiving polio drops is given a purple mark on their finger to show they have been immunised. We are looking forward to seeing them bloom.

Green Team wish you all a happy half term holiday.
