Focus on the Crocus

What is Focus on the Crocus all about?

Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) is working with The Eden Project, the International Flower Bulb Centre (IBC), the National Trust and Learning through Landscapes to plant purple crocus bulbs from the beginning of October so they will be in flower for Rotary Day – 23 February 2011. These Purple Flowers represent the colour of ink dabbed on a child’s little finger to indicate they have been immunised against polio.

Rotary Clubs throughout England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales have bought over 5 million bulbs to make this the worlds largest bulb plant in support of any global cause. They are now planting furiously with great support from local schools, youth groups, residents, public authorities and local businesses.

There are so many ways you can help. Just contact your local Rotary Club or look them up on the Club search on www.ribi.org
