Village Green off to a good start for Jubilee Year! -

On November 2nd. a small army of 6 green-fingered prospective gardeners of the future came marching down the Village street accompanied by Gillian Morris (Head Teacher) and two stalwart spade wielding Mum`s (Debbie Budge and Becky Broadley) to plant bulbs to brighten up our Village Green and get Jubilee year off to a great start. Madeleine; Matilda;Isabel C;Rachel;Ben and Toby W happily and confidently planted  a grand total of 270 bulbs that had been donated to The Village. These comprised species Crocus which were planted along the road edge of The Green and dwarf Tete-a-Tete Daffodils on the bank behind and at the far side of the new steps.  Perseverence was the "buzz" word for the week at school and they certainly showed that! A big thank you to all of them and I know they will be watching for the first flowers to appear in February and March!    The tall crimson tree in all it`s autumn glory (pic 1352) is a Liquidamber and the other beauty is a Nyssa (1357) both at Beatlands, in case you think of using them in The Gallery.    I am including an account of the bulb planting last Wednesday as I wasn`t sure whether you were going to put something on the village News page or just some pictures on Gallery.
