Join the team at the National Memorial Arboretum to plant a carpet of crocuses. They will supply the bulbs and tools so just put on your wellies and come along!
The crocuses will be planted along Yeomanry Avenue, and will act as a yearly living reminder of hope and renewal that burst into life each spring! We would like you to come along and help with the planting.
The Great Bulb plant will begin on the 28 September, they will be hosting four planting days, giving you plenty of opportunity to join them. Follow the links for more information about planting on 28 and 29 September and 2 and 3 November.
You might like to make your donation in memory of someone close to you, or to remember all those who have lost their lives in service. Packets of crocus bulbs will be available to purchase from the Arboretum from mid September for £2.50. Both groups and individuals are welcome to join them for the planting.
