Colourful Display Planted for next Spring
If you walk around New Lane Cemetery next spring you will be enchanted by a colourful display of flowers.
During damp and cloudy volunteer sessions in February and March native bluebell, snowdrop and wild daffodil bulbs were planted around the cemetery. They were planted ‘in the green’ after the bulbs have already flowered for this year. Using this method of planting gives a more successful amount of bulbs growing next year.
The bulbs will provide a colourful display for visitors next spring as well as providing an early source of nectar for bees and other insects.
The volunteer sessions run on a monthly basis and are part of the Havant Cemeteries Project. The project is being run by The Conservation Volunteers with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
