A pocketful of crocuses, and a mission with meaning — that’s how GoodGym Bexley spent the morning at the Old English Garden in Danson Park.

Armed with trowels, teamwork, and a lot of enthusiasm, we joined forces to plant around 2,000 purple crocus bulbs, kindly donated by the local Rotary Club.

But these weren’t just any bulbs — each one carries a message. The purple crocus is the symbol of Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign, chosen because of the purple dye used to mark the little finger of a child who’s received the polio vaccine during mass immunisation. That little purple pinkie shows they’ve been protected — a small mark with a powerful meaning. 💜

So, in spring Danson Park will be dotted with thousands of tiny reminders of hope, health, and community spirit.

We left with muddy hands, full hearts, and the satisfying thought that every bloom will tell a story of kindness and care — just the GoodGym way. 🌱💪
