Geocache Description:

High Peak Borough Council have some daffodil bulbs to plant for next spring. Please come along and help out.

Peak District CITO - Daffodil planting 1
Shirebrook Drive, Glossop, SK13 8RF
Saturday 17 September 2016, 10:00am - 12:00noon


Details

This is a CITO to help the local Council plant thousands of daffodil bulbs on grass verges. The planting will be done in three separate areas on different days, of which this is the first.

Links to the other two CITOs can be found here:
Sat 8 October 2016

Council workers will be lifting the turf the day before, and our job will be to plant the bulbs and then replace the turf on top. As the turf will already have been lifted, the job shouldn't be back-breaking, but helping out in this way will help the council a lot, and greatly improve how the area looks in the spring when the bulbs start flowering.

Although the verges shouldn't be muddy, if it's been raining beforehand you might want to wear boots.

Children are welcome to come along to help, but parents/guardians are to be responsible for them during the event.

As an added bonus, this CITO is being held on the first day of Geocaching's CITO Week, and attendance will earn you a Souvenir for your profile.

Car parking is available on-road at the posted co-ordinates.

Many thanks to Paul Farrell from High Peak Borough Council for his help in organising this.
