Members of Bradley Stoke Rotary Club have planted thousands of tiny crocus bulbs in a roadside verge with the aim of creating an annual floral display to celebrate the success of a worldwide programme to eradicate polio.

Located in the embankment on the west side of Brook Way, near Christ the King Church, the display should burst into flower next spring [2022], in the form of the spoked wheel that is the symbol of Rotary clubs across the world.

Here’s one they made earlier: A Rotary wheel formed of crocus blooms, in the embankment of Baileys Court Road.

All being well, the new display should look similar to the one planted by the club in late 2020 in the embankment of Baileys Court Road, which flowered for the first time in spring 2021 (see photo above).
