Encouraging greenfingered children...that's the aim of Taylors Bulbs

As part of their centenary celebrations, Taylors Bulbs are organising a nationwide campaign to get children planting bulbs this October further details of which will be available to see at Glee.

 

The ‘Little Daffodils’ initiative will be widespread throughout the UK at participating garden centres who can either work with local schools or hold their own planting events.

 

Adam Taylor, one of the fourth generation of the Taylor family said; “As a family business, we know the importance and the joy of engaging the next generation with growing. With ‘Little Daffodils’ we want to create a really special event to mark our Centenary year, and we hope tens of thousands of children get a chance to plant bulbs this autumn and then watch them flower next spring, experiencing one of the delights of gardening.”

 

The campaign will take place during October when children will get the opportunity to enjoy planting daffodil bulbs in their own pot and go on to have the opportunity to learn more about nature and growing their own flowers.  Over 200 of Taylors’ customers nationwide have signed up to the initiative, with over 65,000 pots being supplied by Taylors, supported by Dejex and Poppelmann Plastics UK.  Bord Na Mona, Evergreen Garden Care and Westland have also agreed to support their customers with free compost for the events.

 

Adam added, “We are very grateful for the support of colleagues within horticulture, and delighted to be supporting the Greenfingers Charity alongside this initiative, raising money for this fantastic charity dedicated to supporting children who spend time in hospices. It seems the perfect circle to engage with children via our customers and then to support many others who may be unable to experience the joy of gardening for themselves due to illness.”

 

Taylors Bulbs are the UK’s leading supplier of flower bulbs, growing and supplying flower bulbs since 1919. At the helm of the family business is Adam and his cousin Sam, the fourth generation of the Taylor family, who also work with Sam’s father Roger to oversee the family owned business.
