Schools dig in for daffodil planting in Redditch

Children from two West Midlands schools have helped to improve the environment in their local community, by taking part in a daffodil planting event organised by Stoford.

Hundreds of bulbs were planted along Far Moor Lane in Redditch, adjacent to the site of the logistics and manufacturing scheme, Redditch Gateway.

Green-fingered school children from Mappleborough Green C of E Primary School and Mappleborough and Winyates Preschool, joined volunteers from Stoford during two days of planting.

The initiative was supported by Whiting Landscape Limited and organised in collaboration with local Redditch resident, Len Quartly.

It was brilliant to see so many children enjoying the experience, despite the wet weather, and we look forward to welcoming them back next year to see the flowers in bloom.

As with any development we deliver, we are always keen to explore ways of contributing to the betterment of the local community and environment. We are hugely grateful to both schools for their support, as well as local residents and partners, who have made the event such a success.
