Bulb Planting
Since the late 1980’s the Society has from time to
time carried out bulb planting to the approaches to
Edgworth village. The first planting took place on
land beside Bolton Road just above what is still known
locally as ‘Loopy Loos’. Despite the very rough and
wet ground, the daffodils still put on a splendid
display each Spring.
That has not been the only difficulty. On two separate
occasions we received the attentions of the local
constabulary who were investigating complaints from
concerned residents that we were digging up bulbs
rather than planting them!
The approaches to Edgworth and Chapeltown are now
resplendent with daffodils each year. Further planting
took place in time for Spring 2013 with the addition
of tulips at the Waterwheel site, which was first
planted in 2011 (see below).
The map above shows the extent and location of our
planting and includes areas in the woodland
immediately behind The Barlow and also around the wall
and paths to the rear of the children's play area.
Please do not dig up the bulbs!
