Planting Day: Hyde Park
Key information
Help us help nature thrive...
Planting bulbs is a fantastic and easy way to help nature thrive no matter how much space you have – bulbs grow well in a plant pot on a windowsill, in a garden, and in large swathes in parks!
Not only do bulbs provide colourful displays, but they can provide nectar and pollen for our pollinating bees, flies, and butterflies too. This is especially important in early spring when other flowers are yet to bloom.
Join us and get involved with hands-on planting and leave your mark in Hyde Park by planting winter aconite bulbs.
Drop-in any time between 11.30am – 3.30pm at The Dell.
