Primary school pupils bid to turn their village near Wigan yellow by planting daffodils
A local village will be a riot of yellow in a few months’ time thanks to the daffodil planting work of volunteers and local schoolchildren
Schoolchildren have been playing their part in ensuring their village near Wigan will turn yellow in the spring
Pupils of St Thomas the Martyr CE Primary participated in a Cleaner Greener Up Holland Daffodil Day event.
The team from Up Holland Parish Council helped the youngsters plant bulbs around the school grounds.
When spring arrives, they expect to see a sea of yellow around school.
Headteacher Mr Roscoe said: "This is a great environmental, sustainable event which will see the daffodils multiply in the ground, returning larger and brighter each year."
The children were very excited and were encouraged to participate in the official Daffodil Day event taking place on Saturday October 24 between 11am and 1pm at Mill Lane playing field.
Armed with thousands of bulbs the volunteers, led by Gill Sinnott, will turn the village yellow next spring.
Volunteers are always encouraged to participate in picking litter or weeding to make our community a cleaner, greener and healthier place to live and work in.
