School children, seniors’ groups, volunteers and residents have planted 2,000 snowdrop bulbs across a Huntingdon park.
The project at Coneygear Park has been organised to mark 60 years of Britain in Bloom, the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual competition.
This year’s theme is ‘Friendship’ and the Coneygear Community Garden hosted the snowdrop bulb planting event on the morning of February 14.
Its aim was to celebrate the friendships that can develop through gardening.
Thongsley School's Eco-Committee and Coneygear Seniors took part in the planting at Coneygear Park.
The Rotary Club of Huntingdon planted bulbs at Castle Hills.

During their work, participants were invited to think of someone who is, or has been, a good friend to them.
They could then write the name of that special person on a postcard, which featured a photograph of the snowdrops currently in bloom in the community garden.
Anyone with a passion for horticulture, the environment and working with the local community is invited to join Huntingdon in Bloom.
