Schoolchildren plant bulbs and learn about the trees of Elmhurst Gardens

Pupils from Oakdale and Churchfields junior schools have planted bulbs in Elmhurst Gardens.

“In excellent September weather, the children planted spring-flowering tulips and daffodils. They listened attentively while Mike Teahan talked to them about the history of the park and its trees, including a rare Ginkgo tree, which originates from Japan… One boy announced it was the ‘best school outing he had ever had!’” said a spokesperson for the Friends of Elmhurst Gardens, which hosted the event in collaboration with Vision RCL.
