CROCUS PLANTING, IPSWICH ROAD HEDGE
Councillor Brian Watkins has had a longstanding connection to Eaton Rise and has kindly funded 18,000 mixed crocus bulbs for three areas of the verge. Funding comes from his community project pot. The bulbs have arrived and there will be a planting morning on Saturday 12th October from 9.30am. If you wish to help please meet at Broadhurst Corner at 9.30am, if you could bring a spade please that would be great

Crocus in full Bloom - March 2018
Crocus Planting 2016
On Saturday 29th October 2016, 9 volunteers set out to plant 2,000 purple crocus bulbs in the verges and green spaces of Eaton Rise. Amazingly, they got them all planted in 25 minutes. We now look forward to seeing the fruits of our efforts in the spring and hope that everyone enjoys the splash of colour.
A big thank you to all the volunteers and for Kathleen Rowlands for organising the planting session
