Bulb planting by Ton yr Ywen school - March 3rd 2017

Ton yr Ywen school joined the Friends to plant bulbs at the Ewenny Rd end of Rhydypenau Park. The weather forecast was poor but this didn't deter this hardy group!




We planted 100 bluebells, 150 snowdrops and 150 garlic plants which will hopefully bloom next year.

Another school were unable to join us and Ton yr Ywen came to the rescue (again!). The enthusiastic group moved down to Rhydypenau Woods.

In one of the clearings we planted another 100 garlic and 100 snowdrop bulbs, and groups worked with adults to plant foxgloves and wood anemones.
Thank you again to Michelle (Buglife) and Kevin for supporting this venture. But also a big thank you to the pupils who could not be faulted!
