Sixth Formers make start on planting 9,000 bulbs (11.10.13)
A group of our Sixth Formers took a break from their studies on Wednesday this week to get their hands dirty planting snowdrop, daffodil and crocus bulbs in the Byes.
They volunteered their time in support of the Sid Vale Association’s campaign to plant a million bulbs in Sidmouth as part of Keith Owen’s legacy.
The students have agreed to do some further planting in November with a target of planting a total of 9,000 bulbs!
Liz Warren from the SVA said, “The students did a great job planting the bulbs and seemed to enjoy themselves while they worked. A big thank you for helping to create the Valley of a Million Bulbs!”
Sixth Formers make start on planting 9,000 bulbs (11.10.13) at Sidmouth College
Million bulb-planting bid grows
Friday, October 11, 2013
The community is rallying together to realise the dying wish of a benefactor who left Sidmouth his millinons - and asked for one million flowers to b e planted.
The Sid Vale Association's Handel Bennett, chairman of the Keith Owen Fund, reports on the progress of the scheme...
Today some of our members helped the congregation of St Francis Church, Woolbrook Road, Sidmouth to plant daffodil and snowdrop bulbs in the church grounds.
This was to help with the Keith Owen Million Bulbs Project which is being organised by the Sid Vale Association.
