Report written by Anita (she/her)
The third bulb planting session at The Three Pigeons Plot/Arcade Rockery to ensure all 1200 bulbs donated by Taylors of Holbeach through The Metropolitan Public Gardens Association are planted before Christmas.
This afternoon Anita, Ken, Cathy, Salwah, JP and Adam planted over 400 large bulbs at The Three Pigeons:
c100 (the balance of the) Kingslet and Golden Trumpet daffodils
50 Pink Impression tulips
100 Fashion tulips
50 Oratorio tulips
50 China Pink hyacinths
50 Denmark tulips
50 Red Riding Hood tulips
in addition to this amazing feat we also weeded as we planted, removed browning stems of late summer perennials, and decorated the Insect Hotel for Christmas.
Special thanks to:
Ken, who's superpowers include extraordinary feats of bulb-planting and other amazing acts of horticulture.
Cathy, who gave our Insect Hotel a Christmas present: a wonderful, bespoke bee-vacancies sign .
Also Anita, who completed her 400th mission today but kept it very quiet.
