It was a bit of a rush to organise, but Mrs Colefax, Mrs Whitwam and I managed to gather 11 children together and meet Alan and Cathy of the Holt Park Tenants Association for a spot of bulb planting.
We walked down to the Holt Park Entrance, where we worked with Groundworks this time last year to redevelop a area of overgrown wasteland into a wildlife area. Today, Alan and Cathy wanted us to plant more daffodils, specifically around the bench, along the pathways and next to a residents house who had lost a little bit of the grassy area to the new path. As the adults dug the holes, we had our work cut out as the children raced us to plant and cover the bulbs! I was soon discarding several layers of clothing!
Next, we walked through the estate to the other side, opposite Ralph Thoresby High School and planted the remainder of the bulbs on the grass verges there. It was perfect timing for us to walk back to school and in time for home!
