The Trust has bought in selected bulbs from Holland that are expected to flower on the first year of planting.<\/p>\n<p>All were given reflective jackets to wear and spent a few hours on their knees planting the bulbs in holes cut out of the turf (by the stronger volunteers) and replacing the divots. The weather was kind (no Manchester rain) and many of the city workers came to take their lunch in the peaceful square and watch what was going on. Some of them even had a go at planting some bulbs. A return to see the fruits of the labour will happen in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President Yvonne Carty, and Regional PAC Chair, Margaret Molyneux of SI Leigh, were joined&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":500,"featured_media":488,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Snowdrop Planting | News | Blog | Events | SI Ashton under Lyne<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Ashton under Lyne : Blog &amp; News : Snowdrop Planting : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Ashton under Lyne .
