Wiggerly Bulb Planting

There's a worm at the bottom of the garden and his name is wiggerly woo, woo woo!

It was our first really sunny day in 2012          ( Friday 13 January) when the small people from Kings Norton Nursery brought their teachers to help plant bulbs on the car park edge to break up a bland area with a band of bright yellow and purple.  

Steve Hinton demonstrated which way was up and how deep to plant - we all learnt and laughed.  The  children excitedly dug with tools and hands, they planted, covered and patted, explored the textures of the earth and marvelled at wiggerly woo's (the common name for garden worms apparently).

Thank you to Gemma and her staff for making the effort to join us - we really do want the next generation to grow up with a love of the park and recognise that is their open space to share and enjoy.  

Thanks Kids, it was a very refreshing experience.
