Working with Groundworks Leeds and the local councillors, we took nine children into a neighbouring road and planted narcississ bulbs in the grass verge.
The weather was foggy and quite murky (a typical autumnal day), but it was reasonably warm. Armed with spades, the adults dug the holes (though the children soon took over) and the kids put in about half a dozen bulbs in the hole and had the delight of jumping on the grass to cover them. It took us no more than a hour to plant the lot! The kids loved it and thought it was great - especially when they found worms! A special thanks to Ellie and John from Groundworks, Councillors Judith Chapman and Sue Bentley, Sarah O'Driscoll Duke and Ann Colefax.
