Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day! 

                            The Curley and Mongan Family enjoying Grandparents' Day.

Our Grandparents' Day took place on the 29th of November this year. To continue on with our ‘Buzzing’ theme and to promote pollination, we decided to incorporate planting and gardening activities on the day. 

The grandparents were asked to bring a planting pot along on the day to plant bulbs with their grandchildren. It was a great success. They planted Crocus, Iris, Fritillaria and Bluebells, all of which are organic pollinator plants.

In addition to this, the families were also invited to bring clippings of special trees from their gardens that may have survived in their families for generations. This added a lovely symbolic aspect to the day of how plants and trees can hold a central part in our homes and lives.
