Planting Day 20th October!
19 October 2017
,Hello Bulb Buddies,
There isn't long to go until planting day on 20th October! Are you ready? Here are some helpful resources to prepare you for planting your bulbs and for looking after them over the coming months! These are also on the Spring Bulbs for Schools website: https://museum.wales/spring-bulbs/
These resources will help you on planting day:
- A Letter from Professor Plant (introduction to the project)
- Adopt your Bulb (an overview of the care your Bulbs will need)
- Planting your Bulbs (guidelines for ensuring a fair experiment)
And these activities are fun to complete:
- Bulb Adoption Certificate
- Make Bulb Labels
It's important that you read these as they contain important information! For example, do you know how deep you need to plant your bulbs? Or how to label your pot so that you know where the Daffodil and Crocus are planted?
Remember to take photos of your planting day to enter the Planting Day Photo Competition!
Keep an eye on Professor Plant's Twitter page to see photos from other schools: https://twitter.com/professor_plant
Best of luck Bulb Buddies! Let us know how you get on!
