All the turf removal is done

All the turf removal is done! This was a mammoth task, thanks to everyone who made it possible. Fylde FM & Wish FM have given us good promotion on local radio, big day tomorrow Golborne House has been a hive of activity this week, removing turf all around the centre

We are all ready for the big bilb plant!!!!!!!!

It's a lot of Crocus bulbs

117 pots per box, each pot has 30bulbs in that is

3,510 bulbs per box, so there are a lot of bulbs ready for planting. Over 11 boxes, its a lot of Crocus!

Counting Bulbs

We soon made easy work of counting out the 40,000 crocus bulbs into 30 bulbs per pot. Many hands make light work.

Preparing for the Big Bulb Plant

The turf removal team are doing a splendid job, three sides of Golborne house are now ready for planting, the fourth side is partially done and completion is expected tomorrow.

There is an air of exitement about the place

Focus on the Crocus

Still a long way to go, but today we have made a lot of progress, two more days of digging should see us reach the end. I can't wait to see the wonderful show in February!
