Crocus Planting in Haslington

Haslington Conservation Volunteers helped the Rotary Club of Haslington to plant 400 crocus bulbs on a sunny Sunday morning.  The bulb planting is part of the Rotary Polio Eradication project, the purple crocus flowers in the Spring symbolise the little fingers of children who have just received the polio vaccination [a little finger is dipped in purple dye to prove they have been vaccinated]. The picture shows Jan Lewis from the Rotary Club of Haslington along with Haslington Conservation Volunteers Dave Griffen.
The bulbs were planted next to the trees provided by the Haslington Guides last Autumn behind Shelburne Drive.  All but two of the trees appear to have had a good year.
