Lovely session bulb planting at Cairns Primary school. It’s a nice time to be visualising where colour will appear from after a long winter !
It’s also about thinking what bulbs to plant to feed the first pollinators waking up to the first warm sunny rays !
If you are considering planting bulbs in your garden always look on the pack if it is pollinator friendly by looking at the bee symbol. (Alliums/ crocus/ Sicilian honey garlic/ winter aconite /snowdrops / moscato /snake’s head fritillary/ colchicum / camassia)

Tomorrow’s session will be at the usual times of 10 am until 1 pm.
Just bring yourself along we provide the rest ! If you just fancy a cuppa that is fine by us 🤗
