WORKING PARTY REPORT AND PHOTOS: 20TH NOVEMBER 2025
This week’s report from John Hopkins of FOGG looks at the second session of planting hundreds of bulbs!
Five of us today. A chilly session but a productive one planting the remainder of the 1125 bulbs to the grass areas at the north end of the Goyle. Hopefully we’ll have a colourful show in the Spring .
Horticultural Officer Paul Fealey gave me this list so thought I would pass on!
