Hey, I've just parked on Hillcrest Rise and noticed that our daffodils that we planted last autumn are nearly in flower! Give them another week and more of this glorious spring-like warmth and sunshine that we are having today and there will be a splendid display! Tell everybody that Cookridge Primary School planted them with a little help from Groundworks and Councillor Ben Chastney and don't they look wonderful - certainly brighten up a long piece of grass verge.
And don't forget to check out the daffodils on Otley Old Road that we planted the year before!!!!
Bluebells in Breary Marsh
A couple of years ago, pupils of Class 7 that year (you know who you are) walked to Breary Marsh on a cold, snowy winter's day and re-planted loads of bluebells that had been moved because of a new path. On Monday, I was walking through the woods with my dog and started to look for any evidence of the bluebells re-appearing. There are some little sproutings, but I think it could be garlic. As I'm over there quite a lot, I promise to give you an update on our Breary Marsh bluebells! We are certainly very busy in the local community with our planting.
Holt Park Entrance Project
We have been cordially invited to the Official Opening of the Holt Park Entrance Project on Friday 27th April, which we have been involved in. A piece of land opposite the Cookridge Methodist Church on the Holt Park Estate has been landscaped with a new bench and pathways. Cookridge Primary has been involved with planting hundreds of bulbs (yes, another bulb planting project by us) of snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells, and Class 9 have been working on a design for a gateway with a community artist as well as researching information about local wildlife for an information board, which will also be located in the area. It is a vast improvement already, but with these other little touches, it will be a lovely area for the local residents of Holt Park and Cookridge. Can't wait for it to be finished!
