Back in November Two Mile Ash Schoolchildren enjoyed a break from the classroom, planting bulbs in the local park. Now we can see the results of their hard work. Well done children.
The Two Mile Ash Environmental Group and Ashbrook First School children joined forces with Milton Keynes Council Environmental Department to plant daffodil bulbs in Two Mile Ash Local Park.
We hope the residents of Two Mile Ash enjoy the contribution the children made to our local environment.
On a dry and cold day back in November groups of children from Mrs Healey’s class at Ashbrook School began planting the daffodil bulbs
The children were supplied with gardening gloves and in groups of four took turns to place the bulbs in the newly dug holes.
Over 600 daffodil bulbs were planted in just ninety minutes at the High Street entrance to the local park and further down on the grassy ‘island’ opposite the bridge over the stream.
On seeing the daffodils the children of Ashbrook were moved to comment:
Thank you for buying the bulbs.
Thank you for asking us to plant them.
Thank you for helping us to plant them.
They have all come up so nicely! They are so amazing!
I can’t believe how fast they grew!
It was a good place to plant them because everyone can see them.
They are so lovely! We are all amazed and surprised!
When you see them from Ashbrook they look so nice.
There are so many daffodils, we can’t even count them!
It’s a bit like when a tiny baby grows into an adult. You give it food and drink and somewhere nice to live and then you don’t do anything! It just grows!!
Spring smells so beautiful.
