We were joined by 1st Marple Beavers and parents on a glorious autumn day to plant 2,000 purple crocus bulbs around the apple and pear sculptures near to the library. 1,000 of the crocuses were provided by New Mills, Marple and District Rotary Club as part of their nationwide campaign to promote awareness about vaccination of children in India against Polio. Children are are marked with a purple spot to show that they have been vaccinated and we planted the crocuses in circles to represent this. A plaque will be provided by the Rotary Club to explain this in the spring, when the bulbs are in flower.
We also continued painting the Bowling Green buildings and had a bit of a tidy-up of the grass verges in the infants play area.
